Maybe I'm just old (ok, I'm only 22) but I just use the command line and "dir > file.txt" to pipe the output of dir to a text file for printing. You can pipe right to the printer I believe, I just don't remember how. Haven't read DOS for Dummies in some time

Prt Scr

Then use paint to paste the image.

How silly. That's just using the PrintScreen. At the bottom, though, they link to a page with another how-to:

How to create a text file list of the contents of a folder

Just do what Vrolok said and use what's called "Redirection" to store the output in a text file.

i use dir /b >list.txt


that give you just the file names.

DIR > LPT1 works if you have a parallel port printer connected.

Theres a program you can download called Print Folder which does all that and more.

Print Folder 1.2 -- not flashy, but it does the job. And it's Free.
