Hi,

Open a command prompt (start/run cmd), go to the folder of choice.

Run "dir> file.txt". This will create a text file of the contents of the
folder that you can open in notepad for printing or saving.

If you wish to add the contents of the subdirectories, run "dir
<drive><folder> /s> file.txt".

If you head to google.com and search on "free directory printer", you will
also find many other useful tools.

Here are three ways:

1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command

dir [drive:folder] > prn

If that doesn't work, your printer may not be connected to prn.
In that case issue this command instead:

dir [drive:folder] > c:\tempfilename (you can use any name and
put it in any folder you want)

Then open notepad, open tempfilename, and print it from there.


2. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q321379
and follow the instructions there.


3. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware
utilities that can do this, such as the popular

Greetings --

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR
command (type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to
modify the output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text
file using NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.
