Windows 10: File Searches - missing files and folders

My windows file explorer is not showing all files and folders. Sometimes a folder is shown in a file structure and sometimes it is not. I've had instances when a folder is not shown, but when i search for a particular file within in it the file shows in a search. Sometimes I cant find a file or folder in Windows File search but I can find it through Excel, Word or AutoCad file open search.

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.

 

Folders with zip files

just go to the root folder and do a search for all zip files, then select all and extract where you want.

 

Java.nio.file - Copying files

You can't copy a folder, thats why it generates an exception (you are trying to copy a folder using a copy file function).
You probably need to list all the files inside that folder and copy one by one
