Need help modifying a batch file :-)

hi,
i have no idea how these batch files are made...but i do have one that i like what it does (i got it out of pcworld mag) but i need to modify it. Its a print dir batch file...id like it NOT to print and rather just make a .txt file or .doc heres the file in notepad:
@dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\dir.txt"
@notepad /p "%temp%\dir.txt"
can anyone tell me how i can change that to make it just save directories in notepad or even better wordpad or word?
then i can just paste it back in and hopefully it will work. Thanks in adv!

@dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\dir.txt" (this one creates a file called dir.txt)

@notepad /p "%temp%\dir.txt"(this one tell it to print)

"%temp%\dir.txt" tells it to create a file dir.txt in the windows default temp directory.

@dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\dir.txt"
@notepad /p "%temp%\dir.txt"
Replace %temp% with the path name of your choice in the batch file itself. Alternatively, remove the switch /p from the @notepad line so that it does not print the output, but saves the file in the default Windows temp directory.
