Hi Steven,
There is not a built-in way to print the file listing from Windows Explorer.
However, if you have Microsoft Excel then perhaps you have Microsoft Office and have
Outlook's Advanced Find component installed. If so, you can use it to "Print a view
of a file list". For more information search Outlook's Help for words in
double-quotes.
BTW, if you use Outlook's Advanced Find component for a file search you can copy the
result set into Excel and save this list. You can also print the list using Advanced
Find's Print function.
The following steps are specific for Office 2000, but I think they work for other
versions, too.
I. Open finder.exe by either:
- Clicking Start > Search > Using Microsoft Outlook...
- Opening Outlook and on the menu bar clicking Tools > Advanced Find...
- Running the executable named: finder.exe
II. Search for the files. Choose applicable options from the various drop-down
boxes, buttons, tabs, etc., such as "Browse" to select multiple folders.
III. If desired: View > Current View > Customize Current View. Choices include
choosing what fields to display, ordering of fields, grouping, sorting, fonts,
grid lines, shading, etc.
IV. Save or print the table list of results
A. To save the table list of results:
1. In Advanced Find, click within the table list of results
2. Choose [Menu bar] "Edit > Select All" (or keyboard CTRL+A)
3. Use the keyboard command CTRL+C to copy the directory listing
4. Paste into another application:
a. For Excel, just paste the list.
b. For Word, choose Edit > Paste Special > Unformatted Text
B. To print directly from Advanced Find click the File menu, click Print, and in the
Print style box, click Table Style.
