Generate a list

[sasitha96]

How to generate a list of all the ‘.exe’ files available in ‘C:\Windows\system32’ directory and store them in a log file created in the C drive with the name of ‘entries_Win10.log’.

This is a place for helping people to learn Python, not for people to solve your problems for you. If you're not going to write code, we have nothing to help with.

You should try yourself as this is a relative easy task,we do not like a task posted without any effort,then is more job description.
That's said here a start(saving to log file you should try yourself), these days pathlib is a more modern way to do it.

import pathlib

win_dir = r'C:\Windows\System32'
for file in pathlib.Path(win_dir).glob('*.exe'):
    if file.is_file():
        print(file)

sasitha96,

The code provided works, of course you can simply capture to a file or code the file capture in Python. Or you could use DOS

C:\Windows\System32>dir *.exe >> E:\\mafiles.txt

Or run the Python code and output to a file:

C:\python3.8.5>python check.py >> EXEFILES.TXT


Best,
Dave
