Folder Listing

Hello,

I am sure the answer to this is very simple but for the moment I cannot find it:

Is there a way to list all the files and subfolders of a given folder in Windows?

Thanks

 

Printing it is fine too.....preferably I would like to see it then print it otherwise I am fine with printing the list. Do you know any of these applications?

The following article may help, I used it to get the print directory added to my right click;

You can do this from a command prompt.

dir (path to folder name) >c:\list.txt

The command above would make a text file named list.txt and put it in the root of your c drive. If the path to the folder you want to list has spaces in it, you need to put it in quotes. For example, the documents and settings folder. If you wanted to make text file that listed the contents of it, the command would look like this.

dir "c:\documents and settings" >c:\list.txt

 

thanks everybody....it's working....I used CB360T and Hawkeye's techniques but did not understand that I had to select the folder and right click. Well on the other hand it prints automatically so better be prepared and know this is what you want. I ended up with a thousand page at my first try.

 

For more control, if you need or want, get DirPrint, which is a nice freebie that allows you to choose what and whether to print or copy to the clipboard. It has been around a long time and is well proven.
