>> Listening to Daughtry - Over You 

Ok, so I haven’t posted for quite some time. That’s because it’s summer and I’m stuck at home. There’s absolutely nothing to do! So since I have nothing to write about, I’ll share one of my favorite batch files with you guys. Ok, say you have an extensive song collection saved in your My Music folder, and you want a complete list of songs.

Open up notepad and type the following lines:

cd "C:\Documents and Settings\<Insert account name here>\My Documents\My Music"
tree /f /a > "C:\Documents and Settings\<Insert account name here>\My Documents\Songlist.txt"
pause

Take mine for example, my user account name is Mark Christopher Lim, therefore

cd "C:\Documents and Settings\Mark Christopher Lim\My Documents\My Music"
tree /f /a > "C:\Documents and Settings\Mark Christopher Lim\My Documents\Songlist.txt"
pause

Now, save your text file with the Save as… option, and name it songlist.bat. Remember that the file name should be .bat and not .txt or it’ll just be a normal text file.

Run your simple code.

I’m not really slacking off waiting for Bangko Sentral to tell us when we start our practicum. I’m over at the Geekstogo forums learning the intricate patterns of malicious software like viruses and trojans, learning how to comprehend HijackThis logs and helping others with computer-related problems.
