have in various folders ,such as in "my music" making a
list of songs on my computer.

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
that's 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 extension that gives you a "Print Directory
Listing" context menu option when you select any combination of file
folder, disk drive, or files - including the Search results list. It
has quite a comprehensive sorting and layout capability, fully
supports Unicode (so it can print names that contain characters not
supported in the default code pages), 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.

ExpPrint - Print Folder Contents directly from Explorer

....or you can use the tree command in a command prompt.
