Windows 10: File exlplorer doesn't show newly created file from Application. Only shows previous file...

I've rebooted, reinstalled the software, ensured that the check box for "Show hidden files" is checked, all the usual stuff. I'm a poweruser but I'm obviously missing something.Device name LAPTOP-FDHF39CE Processor AMD Ryzen 3 3200U with Radeon Vega Mobile Gfx 2.60 GHz Installed RAM 8.00 GB 5.88 GB usable System type 64-bit operating system, x64-based processor Pen and touch Pen support Edition Windows 10 Home Version 22H2 Installed on ‎3/‎13/‎2021 OS build 19045.3208 Serial number PF1X84YD Experience Windows Feature Experience Pack 1000.19041.1000.0

Batch Files Knowledge Base

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.

 

Protecting files on a USB stick?

Even if you restrict access to read only, they can still copy the program. Read access is all copy needs.

My suggestion for simplicity is to create a small file on the drive and mark it hidden as well as marking it a system file, so even if they turn hidden files on the file won't show up. Put this file in a separate folder that is also marked as system, name the folder something random and windows important sounding. So even if they do find it, they won't know what it is and should ignore it. Then make the main program check for the file on execution and exit if the file isn't on the flash drive.

This should fool 90% of people unless they are pretty computer literate.
