Trojan at mameworld.info made the following suggestion for creating a barebones listing...

Change dir "%~dp1" > dir.txt || pause to dir /b "%~dp1" > dir.txt || pause

There is a much easier way to get your directory listing into a text file:

Open the command line
"cd" to the directory you want
type "dir >> "C:Your_Text_File.txt"

Thats it, it will create your text file with the directory listing. Better yet, you can use ">>" with any other commands, all it does is direct the output to a text file.

Does not work! I created the text file, i tried to save it as said via Save As and it still added the .txt to the file name on desktop, i renamed it as a .cmd file and no go nothing, the Open With... window appears every time i double-click it, if i drag a file onto it the file just re-appears on the desktop, no .txt file created.

Sorry, does not work here with Win98SE.
What's up?
