Windows 10: in cmd bar when I make the Dir command I find in almost every folder in my computer files...

in cmd bar, when I make the Dir command I find in almost every folder in my computer files with name . and .. do I need to worry ?

:)

 

How can I make a list of filenames in File Explorer via command prompt?

These are the steps I take in:

1. open the folder that I want to print the filenames of
2. In the location bar, typed "cmd"
3. At the command prompt, I typed "dir > vjoy.txt

The command prompt read Access is denied.

 

DIR list to text list folders but not what is in them.

Is there a way with DIR command line via CMD or power shell to list the contents of a directory but exclude the contents of the folders and generate a a bare list(location name only). Just list the files and folders?

In order for this to work, you need to access the folder of interest via the command line. To get there, type CD [path to folder], where "path to folder is the path to the folder you want to print. For example,
CD c:\users\myfolder. Once there, you can run the DIR command to redirect the output to a text file as in your example.
