From My Computer, I know I can print "index pages" of
pictures that are contained on a disk. Does anyone know
how to do the same kind of thing for all of the contents
on a disk? I am trying to label and index all of my files
(about 100 disks) and it would be MUCH easier if I could
print an index as a "contents" sheet for each disk. Any
thoughts??
 
I'm a firm believer in "any means to an end", so this is
probably not the only or best way to get what you want,
but how about ...
If you insert the disk you should get be able to view a
listing of all the files on it - why not just do a print
screen? Hit the Print Screen button which will copy the
screen into the Clipboard, then you can paste it into a
graphics program and print it out from there.

If you want a listing of the folder and file names, you can use the
command line DIR command to redirect its output to a text file and
then print that. Alternatively, try 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.
