I have a folder that contains 222 folders within it. I need a program, or some other method, of creating a list of those folders. I do not wish to print the list. It only has to scan the one directory and I do not need the names of the files in the subdirectories. I would like this because I have 222 programs installed to my external hard drive and they are portable. I want to list all of these apps without actually typing each name individually.

This batch file should work. It will create a list of the folders in folderlist.txt and then open it in notepad.

dir /a:d /b "Full path to folder"> folderlist.txt
notepad folderlist.txt

So if the folder you wanted to look in was C:\program files, then you would use this batch file:

dir /a:d /b "C:\program files"> folderlist.txt
notepad folderlist.txt

In order to create and run a batch file:

• Open a new notepad window (Start>All Programs>Accessories>Notepad)
• Copy & paste the contents of the following codebox into the notepad window
  

  insert text of batch file here

• Click File > Save as
• In the box labelled File name copy and paste cleanup.bat
• Change Save as type to All Files
• Save it to your desktop
• Close the notepad window
• Double click on cleanup.bat
• A DOS window will come up briefly and then disappear, this is normal
