  1. In+file+explorer%2C+how+do+I+change+the+file+designation+from+"custom+files"+to+"all+files"


    When I access my Desktop with File Explorer, the little window on the bottom right of the screen shows "Custom Files" by default. There is an option for this window that says "All Files". I would like to change the default option to "All Files". I have not been able to find much help so far.

    :)

    ...

    you get the idea. ( too lazy to put it in a for loop and test it.

    or just open regedit and remove all the fileX from that key.

    @Ford
    I don't think that step #3 is even needed. The probabiliy of two MD5 hashes from differing files colliding is what, 2^-128 ?
    Even if your were hashing a million files the odds of a hash collision on differing files is astronomically small.

    Batch Files Knowledge Base

    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.
