List or print items in the Explorer.

[Gary Adamson]

Is there a fast way using Windows 2000 of listing all or
the selected files in a directory to a file; or even
printing the selected file names to the printer.

So far the only way I know how to do this is create a
batch file with with the following line:

dir *.* /o/b > save.txt

and moving this file to whatever directory that I want to
list files under.

Hi Gary,

In the future, I would recommend you post this question at a Windows
newsgroup for the version you are using.

That said, you found the best way of doing it that I know of. The batch
file could copy the file when you are done too.

To print directly to a printer, I know that doing this to a local printer
works, but you will have to play with doing it with networked printers.
Here is how you can do a DIR directly to the printer:

DIR *.* >lpt1
