Print Folder's File Names

How do I print a Folders contents in Windows (Exporer or My Computer), like one can in DOS.

Probably dumb question, but why can't you do this in DOS? :-) Which you already know how to do...

I agree, there should be such an option in Windows, but I've never seen any such thing. I think there may be a third party program that can do this, but I still typically drop to DOS and dir>lpt1.

Directory Printer can do it easily.
But it's shareware, not completely free.

As for me, I usually use DOS under Windows:
dir /b /s >lpt1
- with subdirs and long names.

Thank you to all who commented...especially Yuk99...I didn't know about the /b option in dir. I was aware of the Jamesm007 solution, it really doesn't do the job unless a folder's contents will fit on a singal screen! I'm releasing the points anyway.

Hi, mrl!

For Yuk99
In a new question there is 1) a title where I assume I put your name, and 2) the question...I don't know what you mean "Link to the original question"...You certainly may have points but I need additional help doing it.

I appreciate!
Actually you can write anything, but it's better to refer the original question.
Copy the link (URL) from Location (if you use Netscape).
