I have tried on several occasions to print the file names (not the contents
of the files) of all the files I have within a particular folder. I am
unable to find a way to do this.
 
have the folder open via windows explorer or 'my computer', and showing the
list of files (or icons). Hold down the 'alt' key, and hit the 'Print Scrn'
key. Open word, go edit...paste, and you should see a picture of the folder's
contents. (It's a screen shot).
 
You can try the procedures listed at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/PrintDocList.htm, although it appears
the Outlook method doesn't work with Outlook 2003.

Instead, you can use the macro at
http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/MacrosVBA/InsertFileNames.htm to put the file
names into a document, and then print the document. If necessary, see
http://www.gmayor.com/installing_macro.htm.

Here's how I do it:

Start->Run
cmd (hit enter)
In the command prompt window, change to the directory you want to be in
At the prompt, type "dir /b /on > files.txt" (without the quotes) and hit
enter
type exit and hit enter
Now go to your directory and you'll find "files.txt" which you can open in
Word or Notepad and print out
 
You can also use Crystal Reports - a report writing tool. I've done
this on MANY occassions.
 
In addition, see the Printfolders utility at
