Back up files

[Mike]

I have files that I am able to back up to CD but not able to write or copy a
list
of the files therein.
In one case the folder contains 55 Adobe files. The are rather long and
important catalogues that I wish to save and protect.
What I am trying to do is copy the list and print it. As I said I don't
think the system allows you to do this.
i.e. --- Start, My Documents, click on the folder and open it. I would like
to highlight the long list of files, their size, type, and date modified and
print these to place in the jewel case with the CD for reference to their
contents.

Try this...

Assuming your my documents folder is in the default location

Start -> Run -> cmd

A command console will pop up. In there type:

cd my documents

then type:

dir /b > filelist.txt

This will dump the results of the directory list into a file in your My
Documents directory called filelist.txt

add /s so you can list all the sub directories as well

Get Karen's directory printer. It's free and works great.
