Can someone tell me how I can print a list of file names from Windows
Explorer. For example I have MP3's and I want to send a list via email to
someone. Thanks

That is excellent! Works great! There is one other small problem. I am only
given the opportunity to print and no option to save to a file for emailing.
The way it is requires me to print it out then turn around and scan it for a
..txt file. Any workaround to save as a file?

Edit the printdir.bat file in c:\windows. Remove the /P after Notepad. Save
the file as printbat1.bat. Go into the file view and select File Folder.
Select advance and select Add. Enter any name you like, then enter
printdir1.bat.

Is this in addition to the above procedure?

You can do the exact same steps on the following page

Just take out the "/p" after Notepad. Rename the printdir.bat file to
viewdir.bat. In the action box do not use Print Directory Listing, use
Directory Listing. In the Application to perform action enter viewdir.bat.

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.
