HOW TO: Add "Print Directory" Feature for Folders in
Windows XP [Q321379]

Or start/run cmd, change to the folder you want to be in,
then run "dir > filename.txt" (without quotes) to create
a text file listing of the files and folder in
that directory. Add the /s switch if you want it to
include sublistings within the folders.

Here are three ways:

1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command

dir [drive:folder] > prn

If that doesn't work, your printer may not be connected to prn.
In that case issue this command instead:

dir [drive:folder] > c:\tempfilename (you can use any name and
put it in any folder you want)

Then open notepad, open tempfilename, and print it from there.


2. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q321379
and follow the instructions there.


3. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware
utilities that can do this.
 
Greetings --

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "tree > filetree.txt" or "tree > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the TREE
command (type "tree /?") 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.
