    Is there a way to comment out lines in a Windows .bat or .cmd file? Sorry, but I'm drawing a blank on this basic question.

    Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
    Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

    dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

    When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

    Comments in batch files

    Comments and tags not saved or disappears

    Hello,

    Could you please answer few question:


    • Are you not able to see the Comments section in the file or the comment is missing for the MP3 file in the file section?
    If the Comment section is missing, I suggest you to follow the steps and check if it helps.

    Right click on the categories where you see the file section and click on more and scroll down and check on Comments section and check if it helps.

    And issues with Microsoft Word 2010, suggest you to post your query in on the below link and check if it helps.

    Results in Office - Microsoft Community

    Hope this helps.
