Printing list of file contents

[nickel]

In My Computer, I'm trying to print just the list of
filenames in a particular folder. I somehow keep printing
the entire file, not just the names. Help please.

There's many different methods of getting a directory listing. I prefer
using a small free 3rd party program called Directory Printer. It's
available for downloading here:

What I would do is to use a Command-Prompt or a *.bat file containing;
dir /b drive:\"path to directory"\*.* >C:\filelist.txt

the '/b' causes just the filename to show, other options are shown by
typeing 'dir /?' at a CommandPrompt

"path to directory", needs all seperate words in a name to have quotes round
them (or quotes round the whole path)

Note that thiere is a space between 'dir' and '/b', also a space between
'*.*' and '>'

And after the command (in the example above) your filelist will at
'C:\filelist.txt'
