I need something that will print an XP directory that will include the
"Extra Details" columns. Such as the comments, bit rate, duration and
copyright columns.

Any Help would be greatly appreciated!

DirPrinting allows printing of size and change dates, but it doesn't
handle the "Extra Details" you speak of. Strictly speaking that
information isn't part of the directory, as it's part of the content of
SOME file types and the available data varies greatly according to file
type.

"DirPrinting is a simple program for viewing and printing directories.
It offers a drive/directory window and a file list, which can be
arranged and sorted according to various criteria. This list can be send
to any printer (printing preview and storage included). Functions as
"copy to clipboard", "save as file", "send by email", "include
subdirectories" or "file filter" are all available."

Otherwise you can open a command console window and redirect the output
of the DIR command to a text file. You can then import the text file
into Wordpad or your favorite word processor for printing. This would
give you access to information like creation dates, short (8.3) file
names and file attributes depending on flags set within your DIR
command. To redirect any command console command's output to a text
file append a space and greater than symbol (" >") to the end of the
command (and related parameters/flags) followed by the destination file
name. Example: DIR C:\Windows\system32 > listing.txt . Make sure you
enclose the combined path and file name in quotation marks if either
contains ANY spaces.

I don't know of any utility that will produce the "Extra Details" you
want to list though.

Thanks "RobertVA" for the reply. The closest I have come is a VBS
script. Thanks again for your help.
