I sthere a way to print lists of files in the Windows Explorer.
For example I make submissions of digital images. There may be hundreds.
Instead of typing in every image' name, for my records, it would be so much
easier if I could just print the list of everything in the folder.
However if I try to print, it offers to print the actual images only.
 
From a command prompt you can redirect the dir output to a text file
then print the file, example:

dir f: >c:\test.txt

Sends the directory contents of f: to test.txt at the root of c drive.


At the current directory

C:\Documents and Settings\Username>dir >c:\test1.txt

send the contents of the current directory to test1.txt


You can also use utilities like this one:

Or with a few simple changes you can add it to the Explorer shell:
