Want to send a Batch file - but gmail & prob AV dont...
mwb1100:
I thought I'd send it as a text file but then realised their AV will probably kickup a fuss.

Have you actually tried renaming the file to whatever.txt then asking the recipient to rename it back to whatever.bat or whatever.cmd?
In my experience, I've found that this makes gmail happy, and I'd be surprised if any AV had a problem, either.
Target:
but is he able to open a command window on XP? I am not able to do it without first installing a link in the right-click context menu. I have no idea how else to do it. Does he?
Computing is so hard if you're stuck with the default Windows only... :-[

you can get to the prompt by running cmd.exe from the windows run menu option.
I suspect you should also be able to concatenate the commands, eg cmd.exe dir etc, but I'm not sure how. Some of the command line mavens here should be able to answer, failing that google should get you the answer

I just typed:
Win+R
then:
cmd
Will that not work for everyone?

There really is no need to go that far. Just hit Win+R and type the one line command in the box, and click OK.

I had to go that far, because I kept getting an error message in Win XP & Win7
[windows cant find 'dir' ...] when using Target's suggestion anyways:
dir C:\folderx\*.* /on /s > c:\folderx\list.txt
it worked fine in the command window
