Printing out the results from Search

[-Steve-Krause-]

In Win2K I use the Search button from the toolbar of Windows Explorer to do
a search. I want to print the listing of the results but there doesn't seem
to be a Print choice.

So I look up in Google ways of doing this. I don't find anything specific
to printing out the results of the Search results but I do see information
about printing out the listing of a directory which might work if I could
set it up.

This is the suggested way to do this:
_________________________
To add the print directory feature to Windows Explorer, follow these steps:

1. Open Notepad, and then copy and paste the following text into Notepad:
@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit

2. Save the file as Prin.bat in the Windows directory, and then close
Notepad.
3. Start Windows Explorer, click Tools, and then click Folder Options.
4. Click the File Types tab, and then click File Folder.
5. Click Edit, and then click New.
6. In the Action box, type Print Directory Listing.
7. In Application used to perform action, click Prin.bat, and then click OK.
8. Click OK, click Apply, and then click OK.
9. Open Windows Explorer, right-click the folder that you would like to
print a directory listing of, and then click Print Directory Listing.

I am having a problem with Step 4 because I don't see the File Folder button
that they say is in the File Types tab. What is the problem?
