Create a table of contents

[Guest]

Hi,
New poster to this group. I would like to create a document, or print a
table of contents, that would delineate the contents of a folder, listing the
sub-folders, and all of the files contained therein. Is there a way to do
this with Windows, Word, or any other Microsoft product other than Front Page?

Thanks,
Gary

Well, a simple way to do it would be to run the following command from
Run in the Start Menu:

cmd /c dir /s "PathToFolder" >"PathToOutput\FolderListing.txt"

where PathToFolder and PathToOutput get replaced with the appropriate
paths.

For instance, if I wanted to list all the files and subfolder files in
my My Documents folder and output this to FolderListing.txt on the
desktop, I'd use:

cmd /c dir /s "%userprofile%\My Documents"

"%userprofile%\Desktop\FolderListing.txt"

or

cmd /c dir /s "C:\Documents and Settings\David\My Documents"

"C:\Documents and

Settings\David\Desktop\FolderListing.txt"

You can then open this text file in any text editor.

Look up the DIR command for additional options you can add to this
command.

Here are four ways:

1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command

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. Write (for example in Notepad) a 1-line text file:
DIR %1 /O >LPT1:

Save it as "printdir.bat" in the "Send To" folder.

Then, to print list of files in any folder, right-click that folder
and select Send to | printdir.bat

To include subfolders, change the command to DIR %1 /O/S >LPT1:

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

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