printing a folder directory

[Allen]

A simple question for all of you i'm sure: I'm trying
to print a list of the folders on a certain folder-- from
windows explorer view. Can't do it- select all thinks
you want to print all the CONTENTS in the folder-- i
don't, just the directory

Help is most appreciated.

To print a list of files or folders within a particular directory complete
the following steps:

1.

Click Start > All Programs > Accesories > and then click Command Prompt
(alternatively click Start > Run and type cmd).

2.

Navigate to the directory for which you wish to create a listing.

3.

Type: dir /b >dirlist.txt

(replace dirlist with the name you wish to assign the text file)

You can also type: dir /b /s >dirlist.txt

To include all files and folders within subdirectories in the current
directory.

The above commands will create a text file within the directory in which
they were executed which can be printed out if you wish.

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 Word.

Here are three ways:

1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command

dir [drive:folder] > prn

If that doesn't work, your printer may not be connected to prn.
In that case issue this command instead:

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. Go to

and follow the instructions there.


3. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware
utilities that can do this.
