Printing File Detail Lists From Explorer

[Adam Thickett]

Hey,

I'm trying to print a list of file names from explorer but
there doesn't seem to be anyway to do it :-(. I know its
possible because i've done it before somehow but i can't
remember how.

Ideally I'd also like to batch print all the contents of
the file too, there are about 300 files so opening and
printing each one would take a while.

Hope you can help

Adam

Hi Adam,

HOW TO: Add "Print Directory" Feature for Folders in Windows XP [Q321379]

You will also find many, many free print utilities that can add this
function as well.

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

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



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