Windows 10: How to make .txt files open up as an active window?

Hello, recently I made the switch to Windows 11 and I noticed this strange behaviour when opening .txt files from Windows search.In Windows 10 opening up a .txt file from the search would make it the new active window and put it in front of everything else, however in Windows 11 the file opens up behind all other currently open windows.I'm not a fan of this change as I used the old behaviour for making quick notes and copy/pastes, which all now require an extra click.What is strange though is when you open a .txt file from anywhere else but the search it opens up as you'd expect; in front of o

No, that > bla.txt is the target file to write to. You could use a wildcard in the argument, ie c:\windows\*.txt which would list all dlls in c:\windows. But adding that to a simple right-click would be tricky.

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.

Could he not use a wildacard ?. So it be dir %1 /a /s /b > *.txt and then it would list all .TXT files then.
