    How to find where file came from


    I clicked several images at several websites and saved them as PDFs but I can open them only as JPGs, not as PDFs. I am trying to find out which websites I downloaded from so I could do it all over again. I clicked their file properties but they did not say where I got them from, etc.

    :)

    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.
