    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.

    files have gone

    I MOVED a directory from one W2K PC to another. However, the target PC (which has a backup unit on it and thus the point of the move) crashed halfway through the move and I had to reboot. I then decided that I needed to sort out why the PC crashed and MOVED the directory back again.

    However, in the process, most of the files have disappeared! What I don't understand is why the original files were deleted if they were not copied over.

    As far as I can see, the files have gone for good. Is there any hope? Friend suggest Data Recovery Wizard, can I try that?

  4. If i reset my pc but keep all my files will it keep the files for all accounts on the pc?

    How to access files in This PC account?


    • I never changed the accounts on my laptop so "my laptop" is the default login, it is a local account, it is the administrator, and before upgrading to Windows 10 it was the only account on my laptop.

      After upgrading to Windows 10 I was automatically logged in as the user name "This PC" instead of as "my laptop", so I moved my files over to the new desktop, but after restarting now I am automatically logging in as "my laptop" again, and I cannot
      see the "This PC" account to be able to retreive my files.
