Travel Technology - Printing Lists Of Folders And Files On XP

Dumb Computer Question #7,643,824

I have XP Pro, service pack 2 on several machines.

How can I:


Print a list of folders within a folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\

Print a list of files within a folder, e.g. C:\Program Files\Microsoft Office\Office 12\Media\


Would I need to buy or download a utility or program to do this?

try this program print folder 1.3 from this site and see if it is what you want, if you do not like it go to google and do a search as there are many of them. http://www.no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

Doesn't anyone remember DOS?

The tree command does this. And you can of course save tree output into a file or a printer.

Just type tree > files.txt :)

Would I need to buy or download a utility or program to do this?You can simply go to the Command Prompt window and enter:

TREE /A /F "C:\Program Files" > "C:\MyListing.txt"

You can then open the generated text file ("C:\MyListing.txt") for printing, etc.

I jump out to dos to do it, using the dir command

Dir *.* > list.txt

will give you a list of all the files and folders in that directory, adding a /b will just give you the file names and not the date, size, etc.

You can then use the text file to build a batch file of those names. Tee Hee, if people don't remember dos, they certainly don't make batch files.....

I'm going to try these suggestions and get back to you folks tomorrow.
