Print Directory Structure

Using Windows XP-Pro and Office 2003 and trying to print a list of the files
and subfolders in a folder. Used to be called the directory structure. And
there used to be a way in Outlook to use "other shortcuts" to navigate to
the directory and print the folders, subfolders, and files. No longer an
option through Outlook 2003.

Surely there is some way to print a directory structure. I know I can use
Windows Explorer and capture a screen print, but by the time I open all the
subfolders, the list is way longer than even several screen prints pasted
together.

Help?!?!?!?!
 
I changed one line and now I have a SaveDirectoryListing where the list
opens in Notepad and then I can edit copy that and paste it where I'd like:

@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit

When I close Notepad it all goes away.
 
Okay, now I have another problem. Seems that the command prompt window
pops up whenever I double click to open any folder with pictures in it. I
have a shortcut to My Pictures on the desktop. Double clicking used to open
it and now I get the command prompt window that just displays C:\Documents
and Settings\Owner\My Documents\My Pictures>

Same thing happens when I plug in my digital camera and try to view the
pictures. Same thing when I double click any folder in My Pictures.

How in the world did my photos get attached to this command prompt
window???? And how do I undo the whole thing to get my "double click to
open" feature back?
 
BK,

Checked the last part of the article in the link posted by Patti?

After you follow the steps in the previous sections, Search Companion may start when you double-click a folder instead of the folder being opened. Or, if you have associated other actions with file folders, those actions may be performed instead.

I actually followed the instructions in the other article she pointed me to,
so I didn't even notice this one. I just want to remove the entry I made
from

Start|Control Panel|Folder Options|File Types|File Folders|Advanced

How can I just remove that information???
