Listing sub-folders and files

[Stuart Brown]

I would like to type out the list of sub-folders (or files)that appear in a
particular folder. The only way that I can do this at present is to use the
print screen facility.

This is rather clumsy. Is there a better way to print such lists?

I like to use dos to do this. Go to start and then run
type in cmd and press enter. cd to go to the directory
you need (ex: cd c:\windows). Type Dir /w/p. If you
wanted to send it to a printer on lpt1 you could type
dir /w/p >lpt1. If you wanted the listing to go to a file
type dir /w/p >c:\filelisting.txt

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.
