    How to run a simple batch file in windows 10


    For years, from Windows3.1 to Windows7 I have been able to run simple batch files like something.bat It always executed without any problems.Fast forward to Windows10 pro 22H2 , it does not work anymore : On clicking the 'something.bat' , it shows the same as 'something.txt' -->IOW I just get the text file, but no execution of the .bat file , I have no idea how to fix this, Using ADMIN is no go either. This is driving me nutsAnyone please??

    :)

    Don't use batch files very much but one I find useful is for creating a list of files in a directory.
    Just copy the text below into Notepad and save as Filelist.bat

    dir /a /-p /o:gen >filelist.txt

    When you run it from a folder it will create a Filelist.txt file,in the same folder, that lists all the files in that folder.Useful when you are too lazy to type all the files out yourself.

    Install certificates in intermediate/root stores by batch file?

    Hi GabeinSoCal,

    Just a simple troubleshooting step, really. Have you tried running the batch file as an administrator, so the elevated privileges can carry over to certmgr? (right-click the batch file, click Run as administrator)
