Cannot right click Windows 7 Explorer of files to generate the copy of the file names in a Notepad or Excel-compatible file. HELP REQUESTED!

I struggled for several hours to restore the service right click that I used to have XP to Windows 7.  I need to save lists of file names such as displayed in the file Explorer. Allowing you to right-click and save files in Notepad. This option has been removed in Windows 7 and anything put in place to restore it.

I have lists of items in the inventory and need to copy and paste the image corresponding to a transfer sheet to allow the server names to match images in article SKU.  The file names are long and typing is a complete waste of time.

I used to be able to find them in the Windows Explorer, right-click on the directory and generate a txt file that I could open in Notepad or Excel.  -Easy.  Now right-click only allows an export in an uneditable image in ONE NOTE. This is useless for me. I can't do anything with an image file - I need the editable data.

Is there a solution?  I need only the file name and extension, not the full path, in a text or spreadsheet document propagation.

I had used the Microsoft solution to install their dose without knowing the final format was a NOTE image file format and not a simple txt file. I try now too write the batch file:

%windir%\Printdir.bat

or edit it in order to keep the file in Notepad and do not make the final conversion into a single Note.

The problem is that the fix from Microsoft, designed to fix this problem, has placed the conversion file in the root directory and it cannot be overwritten.  I refused the possibility to delete, edit or write the file due to the requirements of administrative privilege mandated by the security of Windows 7 too much.

So if anyone has a solution to every problem - that would help - I am very tired and frustrated and not happy with Microsoft.  Their zealous concern with security made their unnecessary programs for me and have further discouraged me to convert to the windows 10. frustrations and nightmares are waiting for me there I can't imagine.  What I really want to do at this point is to go back to XP.

He ate five hours of my day. I don't have the time to fight like that. I am trying to be productive, but all I got are monumental technical walls and roadblocks - often designed into the system. Frustrating doesn't begin to describe it.

Found a solution on a Web site:

http://www.watchingthenet.com/how-to-print-a-directory-tree-from-Windows-Explorer.html

They said it was for VISTA, but worked for me under Windows 7. You will need to use Notepad to the command prompt and select run as administrator to save the file in the root directory.

Thanks for the help.

Cheers.

  • Right-click Windows Vista problem

    I have the following weird problems with the mouse right-click:

    1. sometimes, when right-clicking on a task in the task bar,

    • the shortcut menu appears, but I am not able to click one of its elements, or highlight it with the mouse. The context menu does not close even when you try to click on it.
    • the context menu is displayed in the upper left corner of the screen. In this case, I can click on its elements normally, however.
    • the appearance of the shortcut menu is weird: the element "Maximize" is written in bold and lacks the 'e' letter, showing as Maximiz. In this case, the element 'Close' isn't written bold. In addition, this case involves the first point (not being able to click on the items in the context menu).

    This problem only occurs when you right-click a task in the task bar, than that is if I right click on the taskbar itself, there is no problem. The system tray works too, and the quick launch.

    'Sometimes' means in fact very often. I might have to right click on a task several times until I get the popup to work normally.

    And now the problem (possibly) other:

    2. sometimes, when a right-click, context menu flashes quickly. As for the first problem, I have to click several times until the pop-up menu appears normally. Unfortunately, I can't describe exactly in what circumstances this kind of behavior happens. Most of the time right click works normally.

    I'd love to hear what could cause these problems.

    Thanks for the suggestions, Meghmala. I tried these methods, but the problem persisted.

    However, after investigating the matter further, I have concluded that the root of the problem is my mouse. Namely, by pressing the right button of the physical mouse often causes clicks two (or more) at a time. I checked this by reversing the left and right buttons in the Panel. After that, left click (right button even physical) was buggy, but the taskbar context menu worked perfectly. If I clicked on very quickly, the bug was less likely to occur.

    I tested clicks with this simple program: http://unixpapa.com/js/testmouse.html

    The real solution to this problem is to buy the new mouse. The things that I mentioned in the first post were after all the right symptoms - some programs this is confused at the rate of 2 clicks from almost simultaneously.

    Hello

    Troubleshooting problems of contextual Menu (right click) are a process of eliminating exercise.

    Right-click accidents are usually caused by part 3, shell extensions which you can refine
    with ShellExView. See "Method 2" in this article for more details

  • Can't do a right click on or open zip files. How can I fix it?

    I have an annoying problem where explore seems simply do not recognize the zip files.

    Hi MonkeyMagics,

    Here is a zip file (you need to use your workaround to open it).  Inside is a registry file that contains the configuration for default ZIP.  Simply run the registry file to import it in your registry.  It should work instantly, but a reboot may be required.
  • Cannot not left/right, click anywhere for 1-3 seconds after moving the mouse to even. The mouse works fine with all other programs.

    Moving the mouse to any results on the ground in time. For example: when I moved the mouse to the "Détails" box, it was entirely 2 seconds before I saw an indication that I could enter data. What reading mail on Yahoo, if I want to mark an item to move, delete etc. I find the mouse cursor on the box for 1-3 seconds before I can click on the box. The problem occurs no matter wherever the cursor of the mouse is used. (Switch from one tab to another, ranging from one matter of Facebook to another, everywhere!) I should point out that I tried to run my Email, Facebook and all regular applications with Internet Explorer and I have not had any problems at all. I uninstalled and reinstalled Firefox. No help! I like Firefox and use it for years, it's only in the last few weeks that this problem has come. I really don't want change in Chrome or IE, but I can't continue with this problem. I'm not a technology expert, so I hope that there is a pretty easy fix.
    Thanks in advance,

    Sorry I should have to take a look at this earlier, but you have several versions of Flash installed. Having multiple versions of the same plug-ins can cause problems.

    Take uninstaller from here:

    And install the latest version here: https://get.adobe.com/flashplayer/
    Notice that the link is usually an 'optional' offer for the McAfee toolbar in the middle pane you can untick this box as it is not necessary to use a Flash.
