List an External Hard Drive's Folder's Contents

I have perused your video on “List A Folder’s Contents For Easy Organization” however this has not worked for my external hard drive (where my movies/music now live) How can I create a text file on the contents of the external drive (E:)?

Keith, there’s a simple solution to the issue you’re having here which requires skipping some of the steps outlined in the video. As you cannot use the CD command to navigate to your external drive, you can instead create a batch file on the external drive to serve the same purpose.

To do this, you can follow these easy steps:

1. Navigate to the folder you want to list, for example E:\Music.

2. Next create a new text file within the folder. This can be done by right-clicking within the folder, then navigating to ‘New->Text Document’ within the menu.

3. Once you’ve created it, you don’t need to worry about naming it. Just right-click and click Edit.

In my efforts to add an “Apple-TV” to my wireless network I found a different password on each of my two computers in addition to the original password. My question is, which one do I use. Please advise. THX

I display the file downloaded a free program way back 2000 called BatchMaker. What you do is open the program and add a file you then go to the folder you want listed and do the normal file (multiple also) and then hit the open button. This program gives you many different ways to display the results you then reselect from the files to copy and drop it in Word or Excel And will list it the way you want to. You open up either program and paste it. I haven’t found it to date but you might fin it somewhere or ther may be something similar out there.
