Re: Computer help needed
In Response To: Computer help needed ()

Here's another one from the days of DOS. grin

do the same thing, Start > Run > CMD which is command prompt, formerly known as DOS.
"CD/" takes you to the root of your C: drive, if you want something else, just type in "D:" for example.
If you know the directory name type in "CD "

Now the easy part:

"DIR>>files.txt" (you can make this any nice eight letter name you want .txt) I'm not sure if long file names are supported.

It will make a text file of all the files in the directory and save it as files.txt in that directory. In effect you are printing to a text file.

Now you can go into the regular operating system and open the file in Notepad or my favorite Wordpad or whatever word processor you use.
