How can I copy a text list of the filenames in a folder to
print or email them to someone. Not the files, just the names.

------------------------
For creating text lists of directories,
a free third party program called
Directory Printer. Available here:
www.karenware.com/powertools/powertools.as
---------------------------------------------------
use the command line DIR command and
redirect its output to a text file that you
can print from Notepad.

1-select any file folder, drive, or files.
2-comprehensive sorting and layout capability
3-only a small download.

5-Save settings capability is disabled
 
Click [Start] [Run] [Cmd]
Goto the appropriate directory.
Type "Dir /b >list.txt"
[include "/s" for sub-directories listing]

Open List.txt in notepad and print the contents.

Greetings --

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