As for printing directories try rjhExtensions 1.3 (www.rjhsoftware.com). Its free and will add a number of useful functions to the context menu of Windows Explorer, which you can turn on and off depending on which ones you want. One of the options is: Print directory list. This prints a list of the names and, optionally, the details of all files in the selected directory and, optionally, subdirectories.

20475 2001-10-07 23:15:00 This can be done from the DOS prompt by typing 'dir /s > index.txt', this will output a list of files and sub directories and store them in index.txt.

There are many other commercial and freeware programs available to do this on the internet One good one, CDScan 1.0b, can be downloaded from the PCWorld file world (idg.co.nz).

To get just MP3s use something like,

dir C:\*.mp3 /s > c:\mp3s.txt


btw, 'SHOUTING' doesn't make people more likely to answer you (or whatever your reason), it just annoys the people who do read it.
