How can I "PRINT SCREEN" Contents of a FOLDER??

Does anyone know how to print the "Contents" of a FOLDER
while using Windows XP (home) and in Windows Explorer?
I have gone to the Windows HELP, and it said to just
(Press ALT + PrtSc). This doesn't work! Also tried (Press
Fn + PrtSc) and just (PrtSc). Nothing works...
I have even attempted to "select-all" and right-click
on them and "copy", and then in MS Word, "paste" them
from the "clipboard" to Word. This doesn't work either.
I know that this IS possible, but I can't figure out
how to do this using Windows XP.
Can anyone shed some light on this subject?
Thanks

Many of the old MS-DOS commands still work in Windows XP. You can
redirect a dir command to a text file by typing "dir directory_name
file.txt" from the Command prompt. You will have less typing to
do if you move to the subdirectory before completing the command.
The text file will be created in the same subdirectory. You can
then use Notepad, Wordpad or your favorite word processor to open
the text file and print if desired. The Print Screen will only copy
what is visible on the screen. If the list takes more than one
window, only the last windows will be copied. The Copy command in
the directory tree copies the actual file and not the file name.
Power Toys for Windows XP allows you to send the name to the
clipboard as name only but it sends the complete path.
