I have windows xp. I have folder with about 200 files on
it. I want to bring it up on the screen and print the
list of files without printing the contents of the files.
Please respond to the above e-mail address thanks. I do
not know if this is a print problem or a softward problem
or what.

Stan,

You can use the command line DIR command and redirect its output to a
text file that you can print from Notepad. If you'd like something a
little more integrated with Explorer, have a look at a 3'rd party
add-on such as ExpPrint http://www.jddesign.co.uk/.

ExpPrint is an Explorer context menu extension that gives you a "Print
Directory Listing" menu when you select any file folder, drive, or
files. It has quite a comprehensive sorting and layout capability,
and is only a small download.

ExpPrint is shareware, the only restriction on the non-registered
usage is that the Save settings capability is disabled. Other than
that it's fully functional.

Stan, what David says works. Depending on how cleanly you
need this, you can also just maximize your screen and then
do ALT+PrintScrn to copy the screen to your desktop. Then
paste it into an app like Word or PowerPoint. If that did
not get it all in one screen, scroll down and get the
rest, screen by screen. Depends on why you need the list
of files, for your backup purposes or to give to someone
else. Also, if your printer is connected to LPT1 and not
USB, you should be able to go into a DOS prompt and
navigate to the proper folder and type dir>lpt1 and that
should spit it out to your printer. I think you can also
type dir>filename.txt where you choose the file name, then
go back and find/open that file and maybe you can do what
you want with it in Notepad or Wordpad. I sure hope this
helps. -JerryC
