Make list of hundreds of files you have ..in second

You have probably at least once tired to make a list of files on your hard disk.Doing it manually would be very hard and long process and you just couldn't seem to find the right software for it.Well solution is very simple,all you need to do is open up notepad,type in few lines and save it.Here is how it goes:

1.Open up notepad (Click on Start at your taskbar,then press Run,type notepad in it and press ok)


2.Highlight the three lines below,copy them and paste them into notepad



@echo off

tree /f /a > ListOfFiles.txt

exit


3.Now in notepad menu press File - Save as and when small window pops ,at the option
Save as type choose All files , and at the option File name type MakeList.bat
Browse for the place where you want to save it and press Save


In the folder where you have saved it you will find a file looking like this:





Now you can copy and paste that file in any folder witch files you want listed and double click it.It will automatically generate a file named ListOfFiles.txt in witch all of your subfolders and files will be listed and shown graphically.





Double-click on MakeList





Open text file that has generated





There is your list.


Remember, you can copy and paste MakeList file in any folder for witch you need a list of subfolders and files that they contain;or you can paste it directly on hard drive for a complete list of folders,subfolders and files on it.

Changing the file extension

First of all lets say you have one file in some of your folders and you don't even know what extension it is.You can see the icon of a software that is associated with (program that will open that file) but the extension is hidden


for example:


(opens in a new window)

To see the extension and further on to change it you will need to do :


1. Go to the top of the Windows explorer , click on the Tools and than pick(click on) Folder options...







when window like next one pops up click on the view tab



After that in the view tab, on the Hide the extension for known file types option , clear the check sign (by clicking on it) press Apply and than OK





So now you are able to see the extension, in this case it is somepicture.jpg

To change the extension just rename that what goes after the dot (somepicture.jpg ->somepicture.whatever)

After you have changed the extension the confirmation window will pop up and you have to press yes in oder to change it.





Note: when you rename the extension into something of your own free will the file wll no longer be associated with default software (the program you used to open that file will no longer open it) but you can always rename back extension

It isn't handy to leave setting in your window explorer like this cause every time you rename a file you will have to be careful not to rename the extension also

SO THE BEST THING IS TO RESTORE THE DEFAULTS

To do that yoh have to go again to Tools->Folder options... click on the view tab and than click on the restore defaults button and than click OK and things will be back the way they used to be before you have made the change

Leave that window open and disconnect from the internet,wait 5 seconds and connect to internet again.

After you have done it go look at the first window where it says "Your ip is:" and in the second window where it says "Your ip is :"
If the ip's are identical(same) you have static ip and if they are not you have dynamic ip

example:

In the first window : Your IP:
