List of copy of the files from Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application...

Windows will always add something, or a menu item to copy a list of files in Windows Explorer in the form of text in an application?  I would like to run a DOS command (dir c: /s > c - example.txt) as I did years ago, but as I'm sure your aware, constantly been availible for years and your virtualization Windows MS-DOS command line is incompatible with my new computer... All solutions would be grately appreciated.

Thank you
Dave

Hi Dave,.

I have good news for you:

There are two ways to do what you want:

The first is the simplest and is already in Windows 7 (and Vista by the way):

1. highlight one or more files that you want to know the way in Explorer.
2. press and hold the SHIFT keyand right-click on one of the highlighted files.
3. when the popup menu appears, click the entry in the path of the copy which appeared as if by magic, because you're now the SHIFT key.

A slightly better method, IMO, but it takes a little extra work is to add an extension to the send menu to allow you to right-click on one or more files and choose send to-> Clipboard (as name).  This somehow me seems more practical, because I'm used to the way in which the rear PowerToys when.  Such an extension, which also adds a nice Panel to help you manage the menu send to, is a neat package small freeware called send to toys, by Gabriele Ponti, which can be downloaded here: http://www.gabrieleponti.com/software/index.html#sendtotoys

A nice feature of the program send to toys, is that you can even have it put quotes around any path to file that contains white space.  Practice indeed!

I hope this helps!

P.S., A command line similar to BACK tool is still (and always has been) available.  On the start menu, select: Start -> all programs -> Accessories -> command prompt.  Or you can just run: CMD.exe

    Tommy,

    You've done a good job answering my question.  Somehow, and I don't know how I did it I accidentally erased all the favourites I had accumulated for quite some time.  I have not found these missing Favorites in the trash that is where I would have expected to have. But that's another story and not a good thing.  I have so appreciated your efforts and I hope at some point I can get these favorites - wherever they are now.

  • Can we copy the folder and the name of the data file from Windows Explorer and paste as text in Word or Excel?

    I have two records with a similar file; some of them are duplicates, and some may have the same name, but contain different data.

    I would like to compare files from both folders by name and size of the file.  In this way, I could say if I duplicate files, or files with the same name with different data.

    I would copy and paste this information (as text or values) in Word or Excel.  Any way to do it?  Any other suggestions re: comparing these files?

    Just take the b out of my order and you will get info from size.

  • Cannot copy large video files from the camera

    Tried to copy a too large video from my camera.  Message says 'current picture cannot be copied' when I looked up the answers in 'help' it says connect the camera using the (MSC) usb mass storage class, and then use windows Explorer to copy the image to computer.  Please help me understand this.  I have to download or update a driver to do this?  Should I buy something?  Please don't laugh, but I'm lost.  All those who take the time to give me some step by step instructions would be greatly appreciated.

    Transfer of files from digital camera fails

    Symptom 3:

    When you try to transfer a single large file from a USB PTP camera to local hard disk drive (HDD) using the scanner and Camera Wizard, the file transfer does not immediately, and you receive the following error message:

    Scanner and camera Assistant the current image have not can be copied.
    To copy this image, click "Try Again." To no longer deal, click "Cancel".

    If you click Retry, returns the error message.

    Problem 3 occurs because an error occurs in the scanner and Camera Wizard

    Resolution:
    You can connect the camera using USB Mass Storage Class (MSC) instead of PTP. Then, transfer large files using Windows Explorer.

    When you connect your camera, it can map device memory as a player external and it give a letter under 'Computer' OR it can be configured to do this in the configuration menu of the camera.  Once you have a drive letter assigned under 'Computer' for the camera, locate the drive in question for the file you want and copy to your computer to office/etc in the same way you would any other file.

  • How can I copy files from Windows Mail (Vista PC) of my drive external segate to my PC Windows 7?

    I have my backups on my external drive Seagate Free Agent of my old PC of Vista Windows that died. How can I transfer my files from Windows Mail, photos and other files to my laptop which has Windows 7 from my external hard drive. I used Windows Backup and Restore to create my backup files.

    Thank you for your help.

    File messaging in windows 7 does not work. So even if you copy the files etc on win7, windows mail usually run in Windows 7

    There are sites with copies of windows mail that you can use it on Win7 (including the reg files), so it will work properly

  • The Vixia HF G30 allows a direct copy of video files from an SD card on an external USB hard disk

    I am considering buying a G30 and need to know if she will allow a direct copy of video files from an SD card on an external USB hard drive.  The manual is not clear on this point.

    Not to my knowledge (I own a G30 HF).  There is no present on-the-go USB functionality.

    Personally, I do not miss such a feature, because it causes all kinds of compatibility problems, especially with regard to the power of external USB hard drives. In addition, without any file manager, backup of your video files into a nightmare. I must admit that I am rather Cannon after not on an often incomplete function development budget and have it spent instead on the main features of the camera, such as optics. Of course, this is just my very subjective opinion, and other HF G30 clients may have different opinions on this.

    In order to back up my video files on the fly and without having to carry a laptop, I recently bought a made by Hanso Hyperdrive colorspace UDMA2 and installed a 1 TB in her drive. When on the ground and after having taken my shots I just pop in my inside SD cards and the device of copies on the video files to 17Mbyte per second. At home, I plug in the UDMA2 in my Linux video workstation using a regular USB cable and pull the video from the mobile disk. The UDMA2 also did incremental backups and comes with a basic file manager. While it has a color screen, it can't play back video. It is a video and photo backup dedicated device, nothing more. But it does a decent job on exactly that.

  • How can I transfer outlook express files from windows XP to windows 7 on my new laptop?

    I was able to transfer my address book, but unable to transfer my e-mail files express outlook my desktop (Windows XP) to my laptop (windows7).  I used an easy transfer cable, but have all the files I wanted.

    The transfer is easy, but you fail to mention what e-mail program you use. Windows 7 does not have a mail client included as OE in XP.
     
    If you use Windows Live Mail, so I'd say do this way.
     
    Transfer of data from Outlook Express and Windows Live Mail:
     
    For Messages:
     
    Copy the * ENTIRE * OE message store folder to a flash drive. (Folders.dbx must be included). Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail. Open WLMail and: file | Import | Messages | Microsoft Outlook Express 6, and the point where it was saved.
     
    Location of OE message store:
     
    In OE: Tools | Options | Maintenance | Store folder will reveal the location of your Outlook Express files. Note the location and navigate on it in Explorer Windows or, copy and paste in start | Run.
     
    In Windows XP, Win2K & Win2K3 the OE user files (DBX and WAB) are by default marked as hidden. To view these files in Windows Explorer, you must enable Show hidden files and folders under start | Control Panel | Folder Options icon | Opinion, or in Windows Explorer. Tools | Folder options | View.
     
    For addresses:
     
    Open the address book in OE and file | Export | Address book (wab) and save it to the desktop. Copy it to a flash drive. Place it on the desktop or another location on the computer using WLMail.
     
    Open the Contacts list in WLMail, (go |) Contacts in the Menu bar) and the file | Import | Address book (wab) Windows and the point where you saved it.
     
    Note: If you use a CD or a DVD instead of a flash drive, after placing on the new machine you must remove the read-only attribute in the properties before you import.
     
    For the account settings:
     
    In OE: Tools | Accounts, select the account and export it to the desktop. This will be an .iaf file. Copy it to the new computer and WLMail desktop: tools | Accounts and import the settings from the location you saved the.

    Instead of a new user account, you can move the public folder of music, and from there the two accounts are accessible and played.

    Check out the link:

    If you want to continue copying, then you can copy if the default location for the new user account.

    Sign in with the user account that you may have created. To ensure that this new user account has administrator privileges.

    a. open the Explorer, click on organize, and select folder and Search Options

    b. click the display and check the option Show hidden files and folders box and click OK to save the settings.

    Now navigate to your C:\Users\(Old Username folder) and copy all the files and folders in the folder C:\Users\(Old Username) in the C:\Users\(New Username folder).
