Folder printout

Open a DOS Command Prompt. Navigate to the folder you want (using CD commands).
When you are in the folder you want, type in:
DIR *.* >>folderlist.txt

That will do a full directory listing, and pipe the output to a text file called "folderlist.txt". YOu can then open the TXT file in Notepad.

hope this helps

Hi,

The first answer is probably the easiest and often the best way, as you tend to want to manipulate the data after you print/save it.

But your question was relating to programs:-

The Native OS can do this. Open the folder you are trying to view in either Explorer or as a folder of it's own, click ALT-PRINTSCREEN (to capture the window) or PRINTSCREEN (to capture the entire desktop) and paste the dump into a graphics program and print it. This will give you a print-out of the folder,icons and all.

Alternatively, look at a screen capture program similar to PrintKey 2000:-

There are many more applications similar to this which allow you to do this in a graphical interface.

As stated above, the first way is the best way, but if you want the contents of each folder under the main folder type :DIR /S >>foldercontents.txt That will give you the contents for each subfolder also

Take a look at rjhExtensions, freeware from www.rjhsoftware.com.

This adds the following to the right click menu in windows explorer:
Rename Files
Encrypt/Decrypt Files
Path to Clipboard
DOS Prompt
Shred File(s)
Duplicate File(s)
Save Directory List
Print Directory List

It also has an organiser to control how these options display on the context menu.
