Thanks for the info Mike. I've never done anything with
DOS, guess it should be another step up my learning ladder.

Another quick and dirty way would be to go to a DOS

prompt, run DIR and
pipe the output into a text file which could then be

printed or edited via
notepad.

a) Open a DOS windows (Start | Programs | Accessories |

MS-DOS prompt).
b) Using CD OPTIONS and then CD INSTALL navigate to the
C:\Windows\Options\Install folder
c) Then type
DIR C:\LIST.TXT
this will then place the output of the DIR command in a

plain text file
list.txt in the root of C:
d) Open list.txt using Notepad, edit as necessary and then

print.

Certainly Karen's Directory Printer is good but I've

However, in the meantime for an 'urgent' printout, you

could always
use the Print Screen facility. (The PrtSc button copies

the screen to
the clipboard and then you can paste it into e.g. Paint

and print it
out.
