  1. File Explorer not being able to display proper icons for programs, files and folders when...


    When I insert a removable drive like a USB flash drive, external SSD or HDD file explorer starts to load even the icons even the quick access page and the This PC page so slowly even the CPU, RAM and HDD are completely fast and fine. But when I reopen file explorer not even the Quick Access page nor the This PC page and not even the Navigation bar can't be loaded. This problem may look like this below.


    After inserting a removable drive but before reopen: (it could be C:\Windows or any directory)

    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

    http://www.theeldergeek.com/file_list_generator.htm

    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.
