Windows 10: When I try to edit a Windows .txt file, Windows 11 states that it cannot find the file in...

It also says to make sure you have typed the name correctly and try again. It does this for all text files in all folders on the my drive. I, of course, have done this. I have also noticed that the "Edit with Notepad" option is no longer available when I right-click on the files. I have done the following and the error still persists:1. I have checked that I have permission to open the files in question.2. I have confirmed that the files are not Hidden or Read-Only.3. I have confirmed that the files do not exceed Path Length Limitation.4. I have confirmed that the files are not corrupted by op

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.

Could he not use a wildacard ?. So it be dir %1 /a /s /b > *.txt and then it would list all .TXT files then.
