print directory

[Guest]

Is there a way to print out the folder and file information from the Windows
Explorer?

TIA

You can create a text file of the folder contents, and print that in notepad.

Open a Command Prompt, and log onto the folder you want, type:

cd c:\windows\help

dir > folderlist.txt

start notepad c:\windows\help\folderlist.txt

(see file menu of notepad, Print.)

To my knowledge there is no way to print out file and folder information from
Windows Explorer.

However, you can, from the command line, use the
"DIR [directory name] /S > filename.txt" command, withotut the quotations,
(where directory name is the name of the folder and filename is what ever you
want to name the file) while in the chosen directory that you want to get all
folder and file information from. this will save the results to a text file
(make a note of the path that you are saving it to) and then you can open
the text file and print your results.

Just copy this bat file to the root of C:\Drive and right click a file or
folder to print it. Karens print dir will do more than this but this one
will print it.

Forget all that other stuff. Just use Karenware cited above.

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.
