  1. Files have become folders with the real file and a $Zone.Identifier$$D


    I reinstalled windows 10 and not many of the files that I backed up have become folders.

    For example: File used to be "index.html". Now this file has become a folder called "index html" with two files in it. The "index.hml" file I'm looking for and a file called "$Zone.Identifier$$DATA"

    Why did this happen? What can I do to fix this?

    I could fix it by hand but there are thousands of files. IS there a way to make a batch script to handle this?

    Thank alot. I'm using Windows 10 Enterprise LTSC 2018 and I just reinstalled from the same version.

    I have not touched any group policies.

    :)

    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.

    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

    Folders with zip files

    I have like 30 or more folders and everyone of them has only one single zip file.
    How can I extract all zip files inside of all folders?
