Code works in IDLE, appears to work in CMD, but won't produce files in CMD/Windows

[ChrisPy33]

So, first, here is the code:

#!python3 C:\Users\Chris\AppData\Local\Programs\Python\Python37-32
import csv
import os
import time
import os.path


x=0

f = open('filename.csv', 'r')
csv_f = csv.reader(f)

for row in csv_f:
#following is a counter as a bug solver
  x=x+1
  print (x)
#this creates the file and names it the contents of the first column or whatever column you change it to
  file = open(row[0]+".txt", "w")
#this writes the content from the second column or whatever column you change it to.
  file.write(row[2])
  file.close()
#following is my attempt to figure out if files are being closed in the right directory
print('Stored in', os.path.dirname(os.path.abspath(file.name)))

What it is supposed to do is take the content of a cell in column 1 (or "0" if you prefer), open a file with those cell contents as the filename, then input the content of row 3 into the file and save/close the file in the script directory.
There is a bit of "bug" tracking I put in so I can see if it is actually running - and it outputs to the screen. That output looks like this:

1
2
3
4
5
6
7
8
9
10
11
12
13
Stored in C:\Users\Chris\Desktop\GELOE\Excel Test

If I run it in IDLE - it generates the output and the 13 files:

If I double click or run it in CMD or run it in python within the CMD window (with the prompt) it generates the print output - including the last path line - but no files. As you can likely tell from the imports and odd shebang I have played with it a good bit. I should also add I am/was a py2 user and am now a py3 user (or trying to be). It's as if it is putting the new files someplace else and I cannot find them. Or somehow running without closing them or throwing an error.

Appreciate any thoughts. Hope I was clear - first post.
