Answer 1

What I do to list my over 4000 songs (in alph. order)
1. have the songs you want listed all in one folder.
2. Clk Start / Run... type CMD (enter)
3. you will get a DOS C:\ prompt
4. type CD (to the directory (folder) name. This is easiest if you can put the songs on a CD or flash drive and just type - (the drive letter) with a colon : after it. Otherwise you have to type the full path to get to your folder and that can be difficult. Any mistake in spelling or spacing will get you a NOT FOUND message. Anywho, when you get to your folder however you do it: type DIR to see if your file names are there. If so, here's how to get your listing.
5. after the folder name prompt, type TREE/f The /f makes it list the files. This just gets you to see them. To output the listing to a file, type: TREE/f >drive letter.TXT
example: A:\ TREE/f >A:filename.TXT The extention TXT is important. [note: the > sign means redirect] This also is important so your listing will be sent to where you want it. The filename you choose can not be longer than 8 characters with no spaces. HINT: use a simple filename like - songs.TXT
When you first get to the command prompt after typing CMD, type HELP TREE, and you will get the TREE command help screen. (I told you all you need to know!)

This sounds complex but it is just a couple steps and once you do it you'll see how easy it really is.
LAST STEP: After you have saved the file.txt, open it with Word or Notepad or whatever and it will change the ASCII file to a format for your word prossesor. You can now edit, change font size etc. and print just like any other file.
SAVE your finished product after printing.
Any other questions, message me and I'll help you thru it.
Have fun, good luck
