print file directory

[MOB]

Today I wanted to find out how I could print out or print to file a
folder/file tree, and I found that question answered in a thread
beginning here:

Subject: Printing a list of files in XP?

Is that information still current, or is there a new way of doing it?
The part that intimidates me is making changes in the registry,
something I've never done before. For some reason, though, I'd prefer
not to use an external program to accomplish it.

Thanks,

I've now discovered two additional threads, including one as recent as
11/06 and conclude the methods have not changed. I'll try one of
them.

Go to Google.com and enter PRINT FILE DIRECTORY into the search box.
Plenty of information there.

There are a number of ways to achieve this. One of the best is the Print
Directory feature in XP. See

Here are four ways:

1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command

dir [drive:folder] > c:\tempfilename (you can use any name and put it in any
folder you want)

Then open notepad, open tempfilename, and print it from there.

2. Write (for example in Notepad) a 1-line text file:
DIR %1 /O >LPT1:

Save it as "printdir.bat" in the "Send To" folder.

Then, to print list of files in any folder, right-click that folder and
select Send to | printdir.bat

To include subfolders, change the comand to DIR %1 /O/S >LPT1:

3. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q321379 and
follow the instructions there.

4. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware utilities that can
do this, such as the popular
