Default Print Folder Contents??

After a recent problem resolution exercise I am interested
in having a hardcopy of (at least) the OPTIONS\INSTALL
folder. A quick run through Google for "how to print folder
contents" showed multiple recommendations for a couple of
tools.

Directory Printer from
http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp
PrintFolder from http://no-nonsense-software.com/freeware/

Have any of you used these tools? Are they safe/good to use
with ME? Any other comments.

TIA

Certainly Karen's Directory Printer is good but I've never tried
PrintFolder.

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.

Thanks for the input Mart. I'm lazy, desire something less
strenuous g.

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.

See also KB272623 - "How to add the print directory feature to Windows
Explorer" (http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=272623) and KB196628 - "How
to Print a Folder Listing in Windows"
(http://support.microsoft.com?kbid=196628) (Mart's suggestion).

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