I'd like to learn how to make a hard copy of list of all directories on my C
drive. I would use this to help ensure that (2) computers have the same files.

Can you advise whether this is possible?

Regards....

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".

If you head to google.com and search on "free directory printer", you will
also find many other useful tools.

Of course it's possible. Here are three ways:


1. Go to a command prompt and issue the command



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, such as the popular
