PRINT A LIST OF FILES IN A FOLDER

I would like to print and keep a list of files contained in a folder. Having
1000's of files stored in 100's of folders makes it a challenge to locate a
file. Having a footer only works if you have the file in front of you.
 
Yyou can use the PrntScrn button to copy a full screen (or Alt-PrntScrn to
copy a window only) and paste in into Paint (Start, Programs, Accessories,
Paint) but the results can be iffy, particularly if your directory extends
beyond a screen. You may want to look at www.download.com for a freeware
program called DirPrinting. It allows you to print lists of folders -- and
it's free. I have used it successfully.
 
Suzanne,
Does that Print Document List work using Outlook 2003? I can't seem to get
it to work, it would be nice. Any suggestions?
That way I won't have to download anything since this is my work computer.
 
I don't know; I've never tried it. You might query the author of the
article.

I did it in Outlook 2000 at work and it's pretty sweet. Haven't tried at
home where I do have Outlook 2003.

In <[email protected]>, Pat told us an
interesting story. My reply to this story is at the bottom of this
message.
I would like to print and keep a list of files contained in a folder.
Having 1000's of files stored in 100's of folders makes it a
challenge to locate a file. Having a footer only works if you have
the file in front of you.

At the command prompt, type:

dir /S /-P > c:\dir.txt

This will create a text file with all files&folders of the current
directory.

type:

cd directoryname

to change directories.

JoAnn or Suzanne:
Did you find an answer to this using Outlook 2003?

No, because I'm running Outlook 2007 on my main computer.

Try this:
http://www.ahinc.com/outlookfax.htm#Print List of Files
See if that works.

I can't find this program on www.download.com. Could you be more specific
about finding DirPrinting. I have a Toshiba and preSc does not work. I am
having to move a lot of documents from one user folder to the one they are
supposed to be in. Thanks, Sedona
