Copy this & paste it into Notepad: @echo off dir /b >list.txt cls Save as list.bat in the folder that contains the files you want to list. Make sure it's saved as a .bat extension. It should produce a blue-and-white icon. As long as this batch file is put in the same folder as the files you want to list, just double-click the batch file. That will produce a Notepad document containing the list. Any probs, let us know.	Guest (0)

It does the job and you get your list, but it ain't pretty enough for me. What I do is leave the printer off and grab the resulting dir.txt file from the Windows\Temp folder. I then copy and paste it from there into Word and pretty it up a bit. You might find the original acceptable though. To make the batch file, open a new Notepad document and copy and paste the following into it: @echo off dir %1 /-p /o:gn> '%temp%\dir.txt' notepad /p '%temp%\dir.txt' It would be best to view this post by clicking on the View icon alongside the title so that you see the line breaks before copying it or it might not work. After pasting in Notepad, save the file as printdir.bat You will need to click on the drop-down box to select 'Save as type' so that the file doesn't end up as printdir.bat.txt The file should be saved in the C:\WINDOWS\SendTo folder. Now all you need to do is turn on your printer, right-click on the folder that you want printed, choose Send To|printdir.bat and away you go!	Guest (0)

Change this line: You will need to click on the drop-down box to select 'Save as type' so that the file doesn't end up as printdir.bat.txt to this: You will need to click on the drop-down box to select 'Save as type' and select 'ALL FILES *.*' so that the file doesn't end up as printdir.bat.txt	Guest (0)
