Post by Clive ArthurFind out the drive letter of your stick - plug it in and use file
for a single stick, but yours will probably be 'lower'.
Create a directory (folder) on C: called 'sticks' or whatever.
Click on the magnifying glass and type 'command' into the little box,
no quotes obvs. A 'command prompt window' will appear.
At the end of the prompt C:\Users\mike> or whatever type...
dir f: >c:\sticks\dirstickname.txt
where f: is replaced by your drive letter and dirstickname by some
suitable filename.
If the stick has folders on it, use
dir /s f:\ >[filename.txt as above]
[/s: include subdirectories]
dir /s /w f:\ >... will give several filenames to a line, but
with fewer details each [/w =wide], and similarly other switches -
dir /? | more
will tell you what they all do. (the "| more" makes it pause once a
screenful so it doesn't shoot off the top of the window before you can
read it.) IIRR, there are ones that will let you determine the order -
biggest or smallest or newest or oldest first, for example. Though the
default order will probably be fine.
Post by Clive Arthur(dir f: stands for 'directory of f:' and > directs this to a text file
called c:\sticks\dirstickname.txt)
So this will create a text file in c:\sticks called dirstickname.txt
with a directory listing. Notepad can open and print this.
Obviously, use a filename you can associate with whichever stick you
have in when you do it. Don't put any spaces in the filename - use _ if
you want, such as red_stick_filelist.txt .

By the very definition of "news," we hear very little about the dominant
threats to our lives, and the most about the rarest, including terror.
