I am trying to print a list of items from one of my folder
(music) and don't know how. Also I've tried the "Print
Screen" button and that doesn't work either.

I have Windows XP with a Compaq computer.
Any help?

Billy,

To print the active window as it's displayed, press Alt+PrtScn. This
copies the active window to the clipboard as a bitmap. You can then
paste the bitmap into a graphics editor such as paint, or a word
processor that has graphic capabilities (such as Word) and print the
screen from that application.

Alternatively, since you want a listing of the file names, you can use
the command line DIR command to redirect its output to a text file and
then print that, or use a dedicated 3'rd party utility 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.
