The file utilities that I accessed through the links (2 of the 3) worked great. Thanks for such a direct solution. If only it were all that easy. Thanks again.

What I like to do is spool the directory contents to a text file, and then I just print and/or save that.
Open up a DOS Command Prompt and go to the root directory you want to print the contents of.

Do:
DIR /S > FILE.TXT

that will do a directory listing (including all subdirectories), and send the entire contents to a text file called FILE.TXT

Then after that, just open up FILE.TXT in any word processing program or in Notepad. Print it from there. You also have the file so you can save it, or e-mail it or do whatever it it you want.

hope this helps
