  1. setup.txt? what is this?


    so i was trying to find one of my videos today when I saw a new file in my C drive, it was a text file and it was called setup. I opened the file and it said this.

    [InstallShield Silent]

    Version=v7.00

    File=Log File

    [ResponseResult]

    ResultCode=0

    im not sure what this is from, but im a little worried that it could have been from something malicious.

    does anyone know what this means?

  2. Generating a .txt based file list in Windows 7

    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.

    Basically you would execute fancyfile.bat c:\windows\*.txt, fancyfile.bat would then write all .txt files to bla.txt.

    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.
