Dirlister

Yesterday someone asked my how many PSP games I had (hahaha, how utterly illegal!), and I needed a list of a directory. Since there were a lot of games muhahaha I wanted a quick way to have a list of all the directories. And then I remembered a little program I made, Dirlister 1.0.1.

What does this program do?

  • The installer adds a directory context menu item in the registry
  • This registry key points to dirlist.bat
  • Dirlist.bat contains very basic dos commands to display a directory list
  • The output is redirect to a text file (in the default temporary directory)
  • Finally, Notepad starts up and displays that file.

Remarks

  • Dirty code, the program doesn’t delete the temporary file it creates.
  • Installer still asks for an install-directory, but that’s not needed, since dirlist.bat is copied to C:\Windows. If I install to another directory, I have to change the %path% variable too.
  • Only tested in Windows XP (although there’s no reason why Windows 2000 wouldn’t work)

Download

You can download Dirlister 1.0.1 here (158 Kb MSI).
If you want to install it manually, copy dirlist.bat to C:\windows, and merge dirlist.reg with your registry.

    Just a few questions :)

    Any reasons why you decided to use the /L tag?
    Any future updates? IE removing tempory file after closing notepad or something?

    ps; sexy blog.

    L for lowercase, the sexiest thing in the world! And euhm … not really planning any updates for this program no … you’re welcome to make a 1.0.2 if you want :)
