How to add the Print Directory feature for folders in Windows XP

Add a Print Directory Feature for Folders in Windows XP
http://www.mvps.org/sramesh2k/PrintDirectory.htm

A quick and dirty way without any new software is from a DOS shell:
Click Start, Programs, DOS Prompt or click Start, Run. In the Run
box, type "cmd" without the quotes and press enter.

Navigate your way to the directory where the files are located, and use the DIR command to list
the directory and use switches to control output.
/a shows ALL files (hidden, system, etc.) dir/a
/o (letter o, not a zero) sorts them alphabetically dir/o
/s shows subdirectories dir/s
/b bare format: Just the long filename, no size, etc. dir/b
Add the command ">list.txt" to send the output to a text file "List.txt".
(Double ">>"'s makes the DIR command append the output to an existing text file)

So if you want a list of EVERY file on the C:\Music folder sent to a text file that you can
edit, then use the following command:
dir c:\music /a/b/o/s>list.txt

Try this link:

To exclude files but include subfolders, modify this line:
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing" (current)
dir %1 /-p /o:gn /s /ad > "%temp%\Listing" (for you)

To get a nice graphical listing, use this line instead:
tree > "%temp%\Listing"

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.
