How to Print a Folder's Contents

[Steve]

Can someone please tell me how to print out a list of a folder's
contents - including files and folders that are within a Windows folder.
I cannot seem to copy the names to Word or Excel - and I would rather
not have to make successive Alt. Print screens to capture many pages files.

Thank you.

Hi JohnF,

BTW: Do you know of any application that will go in the opposite
direction; A program that will that a list of names - and generate a
bunch of individual folders using those names.

Thanks so much.

Click [Start] [Run] [Cmd]
Goto the appropriate directory.
Type "Dir /b >C:\list.txt"
[include "/s" for sub-directories listing]

Open List.txt in notepad and print the contents.

Hi!

you can use a very similar command from command console
if you like to get files and folders
dir /s
if you need only folders
dir /s /a:d

if you want to get it in Word you need to redirect results in a
text you need to use redirection - just add to end of command
the following:

filename.txt

After that you can open this file in Word anâ format it as you
wish.

Yes, but it's a bit inflexible. Suggest you have a look at the Printfolders
Options.

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.

Steve, you might check this site out. I use Karen's Directory Printer all
the time. She has some interesting free power tools. I believe she use to
work for PCWorld magazine.

It would be a very simple program, or editing a batch file. But odds
are you don't know who to do this. So another related way is:

Get all the file names into a file (as described previously) with the
dir > filename

Then edit that file and remove all the unnecessary directory/file
information (dates, times, etc.)

Insert at the front of each line:

mkdir filename

so that it will "make a directory" with that file name.

change the file extension to *.bat or *.cmd and run it.

Hope this is useful to you. Let us know.

I use ACDSee for exactly that purpose. Under Tools, click Generate File
Listing.
It produces a NotePad file listing the contents of a folder which you can
print or copy elsewhere.
