    I'd like to be able to print a list of files in a directory & their attributes like date created.

    I had a tool that worked in W98, but would like to know if there's a W2K tool that's better.

    Currently use a PRINTDIR.BAT that's stored in the SENDTO Folder so it's right click available from any position in Explorer.

    Thanks in advance for the help.

    It would help if it printed the contents in the order displayed (file size/date/name)

    Doesn't the printdir.bat work?

    There are dozens of sharwares on the internet that will do this.

    You can also simply go to a DOS prompt->change to the folder and type:

    DIR >LPT1
    (this will send the results od the DIrectory command out to your printer)

    or

    DIR >filename.txt
    (this will create a text file that can be opened wth notepad and printed)

    Thanks PRINTDIR does work, but doesn't provide any sort capability.

    The DOS route won't work as I use long file names & DOS doens't recognize them. (unless there's something I'm missing)

    From a DOS window, try doing a dir /? and look at the options. Easy enough to put in a sort switch (alpha, extension, size date, whatever) and to have long, short, or both long & short filenames display.
