Printing list of files in a folder

G

Guest

In the "My Documents"/"Leters" folder there are 50 Word documents. I want to
print a list of the names of the documents not the documents themselves. How
can you do that without printing every individual document?

Thanks

Hi,

Open a command prompt (start/run cmd), go to the folder of choice.

Run "dir> file.txt". This will create a text file of the contents of the
folder that you can open in notepad for printing or saving.

If you wish to add the contents of the subdirectories, run "dir
<drive><folder> /s> file.txt".

Hi,

Example: You want a text file of the contents of the C:\music folder and all
its subdirectories

Start/run cmd, type:

C:\Documents and settings\<username>>CD\
C:\>dir> music /s> music.txt

Now on the root of C: you will find a music.txt file that lists all the
subdirectories and files within each.
