Windows 10: A txt file keep appearing in My Documents.

It's been happening for a while and I'm not sure what it is but txt files keep appearing in My Documents. At the moment there a four of them named:-

drag-and-drop-1593438090635.txt

drag-and-drop-1593516952752.txt

drag-and-drop-1593517159946.txt

drag-and-drop-1593604955049.txt


They all contain the same thing when opened

"[CFxDSAPIDragAndDropHelper::AcceptDrop] Drag And Drop Override enabled"

sometimes this is repeated four or seven times.


What is making this file appear?

Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

I want to be able to generate a .txt file that lists all the files and folders in a specific folder on my PC, but don't know the name of any programs that do that. Searched on google a bit and came up with this guide, but it's for XP and I can't seem to find some of the folder options to modify the .bat file. Any suggestions? Thanks

EDIT: The .bat file will do what I want if it is in the folder I want to do it in, but the option I want to add is having the right click option that it shows.

 

Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

No, that > bla.txt is the target file to write to. You could use a wildcard in the argument, ie c:\windows\*.txt which would list all dlls in c:\windows. But adding that to a simple right-click would be tricky.

Basically you would execute fancyfile.bat c:\windows\*.txt, fancyfile.bat would then write all .txt files to bla.txt.

 

Find a word in a lot txt files

beats me. but it is faster using grep. what's more, in a business if you were scan through tens of thousands of documents the time saved would really add up. just saying.

the OP has a bunch of txt files and he is trying to avoid doing what you suggested because it takes forever when youve got a bunch of files.
