| 815352 | 2009-09-29 22:37:00 | I want to be able to print out all, or part of the folder tree on my desktop PC. I know I have done it in the past many moons ago but just cannot remember how or what program I used. All suggestions welcome Tom |

In the Save As dialog box, copy and paste the following text in the File name: %windir%\Printdir.bat Select All Files (*.*) in the Save as type: drop down field. Then Click Save. The Printdir.bat file has now been saved in the \Windows folder. Next, create a shortcut to the Printdir.bat file in the Send To folder. In Vista, click on Start \ Run and enter the following in the Run dialog box and click OK %APPDATA%\Microsoft\Windows\SendTo In XP, click on Start \ Run and enter the following in the Run dialog box and click OK %USERPROFILE%\SendTo In the SendTo folder, right click and select New \ Shortcut. Type %windir%\Printdir.bat in the "Type the location of the item:" field and click Next. Type Print Directory Listing in the "Type a name for this shortcut" and click Finish. Now when you have the need to print a directory tree of folder contents from Windows Explorer, just right click and select Send To \ Print Directory Listing. |

| 815356 | 2009-10-09 21:10:00 | Thanks for the replies chaps. Jareemon - that was quite something. I'm afraid that following those sort of instructions is a bit too much for me these days - I look for the simple solution!! But I really appreciate the effort you put in. I did go to one of the other programs and realized that I was expecting too much - I am trying to derive a simple layout to help my next of kin (it's got to happen some day), so that they can see how my computer is organized. It will be easier and better to go into DCWIN or similar and do it manually. I can produce a simple looking family tree and probably a darn sight quicker too. Once again thanks. Tom |

| 815358 | 2009-10-12 04:58:00 | I would have thought 'Print Screen', edited in 'Paint' would do that? Yes probably, but first I need to have the parts of the "tree" up on screen - that I want - without all the excess stuff. And that is the difficult part of the job. If I could do that with ease then I have plenty of programs I could use to massage the thing and print it out. Paint has always been on my computer and sadly I have never been impressed enough by it to actually use it. Pity that. Do you find it OK? Tom |
