Hi,

I want to export a list of Files, and locations, to a text file.
If I do 'DIR /S' from DOS, this shows the info I need on the DOS screen
however I cant recall how to export this list to a txt file.

Is there a switch I need to use with DIR /S or is there another way of doing
this?

DIR /S >"%userprofile%\Desktop\Some_Name.txt"

Will pipe Some_Name.txt to your Desktop.

You can use a redirection symbol (>) to send dir output to a file.

Using command redirection operators
Paste the following line into Start | Run and click OK...
