something I can't seem to figure out is how to get a
printed list of files in a directory or subdirectory! if
there is an option somewhere to get a printed list of
files, I am missing it. Anybody know how to do this
without print-screening or capturing the screen? Is there
an option I am missing?

Thanks in advance!

Maybe the command-line program "tree"?

Hi, Rick.

Here's the method I use for WinXP:
How to add the Print Directory feature for folders in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379

I think it would work with Win2K, too, and I've been trying to get the KB
article updated to say that, but without success so far.

If you try it, would you please report back and confirm that it does (or
does not) work in Win2K?

Thanks for the help - I tried it here in Win 2000
Professional, and it appears to work, but the directory
listing is not the same as i see on the screen - nor is it
organized chronologically. BUT - if you rt-click on a
folder, the option for printing directory does come up...
but also an error at the end stating something so fast I
cannot read it...

anyways - the list prints out - but data is organized as
such;

Date Time DIR Size name.

Anyway of having it sort out by name, rather than date?

P.S.

In other words: no, there is no option in Windows Explorer.

Thanks for that KB article number, Rick.

Amazing that it does not include Win2K PROFESSIONAL in the list! Just Win2K
Server and several Win2K3 and Win9x/ME versions.

I've been trying for months to get MS to update 321379 and 272623 to say
that, Yes, they work for Win2K Pro, too. So far, although the "last
reviewed" dates have been updated to 5/19/04 and 6/10/04, NEITHER of them
say that the work for Win2K Pro. :>(

Thanks for the report that 321379 works - kind of - for Win2K. Could you
also let us know if 272623 works?

You mention chronological sorting, economical printing
and also sorting by name. Do you need file sizes?
Is this what you're putting in?:

@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing" exit

Why not try editing the DIR line;

dir %1 /d /o:g-d > "%temp%\Listing"

Gives you the newest file names first in each directory.
Groups the subdirectories at the beginning so they're out of the way.
Cuts off the date/time/dir/size.
Prints out in wide format saving you paper.
Doesn't necessarily print out in straight lines tho.
