Print Folder Directories


Here's an easy way to print a list of the files contained in a folder from inside Windows Explorer. Launch Notepad, then type dir %1 > lpt1: and press Enter. Now type cls on the

second line, but don't press Enter. There must be nothing--not even a blank line--after "cls". Save the two-line file in your "C:\Windows\SendTo" folder as printdir.bat. Now when you want a printout of the files in a folder, make sure your printer is on, right-click the folder in Windows Explorer, and select Send To, printdir.bat.
