How do I make a print-out of the names of all the files in a directory?

Answer 1

Open a DOS window, do a directory command with /s switch to display subdirectories type a desired filename followed by .txt extension and a new text file of that name containing the directory listing will be saved.

e.g. You want to print the names of all the files in your "Stuff" directory in C: drive. Goto start > Run > type cmd/command. In the DOS window that opens type

C:\ dir Stuff /s >files_in_stuff.txt and press enter.

Answer 2

I think, if you follow the advice of one of the other answerers to View, select all, and print, your PC will begin to print the files themselves.

I wanted this capability and received an answer from MMVP (Microsoft Most Valuable Professionals). Their advice worked. It had to be done through Outlook. Version 2000. I have not yet mastered it in Outlook 2003 but I'm working on it. In Outlook 2000:

1. Make sure the Outlook Bar is active (View, Outlook Bar)
2. click Other Shortcuts
3. select the directory (for example, My Documents or whatever)
4. click View and customize it to your liking
5. File
6. Print.

If you ever figure out how to do it in Outlook 2003, I would appreciate knowing about it. The programmers have, in their infinite wisdom, taken away the Outlook Bar.
