Actually learned how to obtain a directory list by looking here. Now that I've updated Windows 10 on my PC laptop, all I find is something called Powershell. There is no command prompt anymore and I have tried to click the "turn off" button for replacing cmd
with powershell
, but no luck. Well, there is in the Windows-start-right-click, but it opens the command prompt for the computer and I don't know how to get it to identify the folder I need contents to. I am NOT a computer geek. I do NOT understand computer language. I know just enough to get myself in trouble.
Could someone PLEASE tell me how to get a directory list, with or without subdirectories) of any given file folder?
I used to highlight the folder, shift+rightclick, open command prompt and simply "dir /b > dirlist.txt" and the txt file would pop into the folder. I would open it and copy/paste into whatever format I needed. (usually excel or Google sheet) I cannot figure out what to do now.
Again, if you can tell me how to get from users\owner> to, say my "music" folder or any other folder, in this case "01 waw ct" or whatever and then the directory, I'd be good to go. What I really need to someone to please walk me through this. Hold my hand.
cd
command to get to a particular path.
