Print Folder Directory

[John J in AZ]

Is there a way to print (or convert to XLS, DOC, PDF, etc. etc.) a
folder directory? Other than PrtScr, which only prints that portion of
the list that's visible at the time. Oh, Windows XP, Personal, SP2, in
case it matters.
Thx.

John J.:
Take a look at Print Directory feature in XP:

And there are any number of third-party programs that provide this
capability as well.

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

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.
