Printing a list of folder and file names and details

[Guest]

Windows Explorer displays a list of the files in each folder. But it would
be very useful to be able to print a list of all folder names (perhaps with
the folder size) or all folder names with the files (and their details)
contained in each as a continuous stream of information or, perhaps, just the
contents of one folder with its sub-folders and their contents.

In short, is there some way to generate a printed listing of the contents of
the My Documents file.

Separately, in the Navigation Pane of Outlook, is there some way to display
the list of Favorites or a list of files in the My Documents folder or,
better, a second set of shortcuts to files and web sites.

Thanks for any ideas.

You can use the dir command and send the output to a text file.

Open a command prompt...
Start | Run | Type: cmd | Click OK or hit your Enter key.

Change Directory to the folder that you want.

cd C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\blahblah

Hit your Enter key.

Type or paste the following command and hit Enter.

dir /b /o:ng > "%userprofile%\Desktop\Directory.txt"

Directory.txt will be created on your Desktop.

Without Changing Directory.

Open a command prompt and type or paste the following command and hit Enter
after changing the path in the command to the folder that you want.

dir "C:\Documents and Settings\Your Name Here\blahblah" /b
/n>"%userprofile%\Desktop\dirlist.txt"

The line wrapped. There should be one space between /b and /n.

Directory.txt will be created on your Desktop.

/b Uses bare format, no date, time or size listed.

/o:ng O list by files in sorted order. N alphabetic by name. G groups
directories first.

Type: cd /? for Help on the cd command.

Type: dir /? for Help on the dir command.

There are some things that just cannot be done from the GUI, you have to use
the command line.
