    Hi Guys & Gals,
    I'm trying to establish a way of printing the file names of a particular folder.
    Is it possible in 98se or does someone know of a third party proggy that may achieve the result.

    I'm wanting to print a list of my MP3s from a certain folder - How??

    Thanks
    Den

    Go to notepad and enter the following code, save this file as Dirlist.bat:

    Code:
    dir %1 /-p /o:gn /B >  "%temp%\Dir Listing "
start /w notepad  "%temp%\Dir Listing "
del  "%temp%\Dir Listing "
    Now Open Windows Explorer, choose View, then Options, now click on the File Types tab. Select File Folder, then click on Edit and New. Fill in the New Action dialog Box as follows. Action: Get File Listing, Application used to perform action: c:\ (directory where you saved Dirlist.bat file). Now when in explorer right click on any FOLDER and select Get File Listing, and the names will be listed in a new Notepad window that you can save or print.

    In addition to what TonyT mentioned, if you want something with more features (and free) get Karen's Directory Printer:

    http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp

    It allows for a full range of choices for printing folder data listings. Works great!

    DeeGee88 --Karen's app is excellent, but for a really simple job, I just use a .bat file.
    For Windows98, in Notepad, type
    dir %1>C:\windows\desktop\yourname.txt

    cls

    Save As yourname.bat and put it into your Send To folder. When you want a to create a list of the contents of a folder, right click on the folder and send to yourname.bat. That will put a yourname.txt file with the info on your Desktop and you can Save it or Print it from there.
