Go to a command prompt and issue the command dir [drive:folder] > c:\tempfilename (you can use any name and put it in any folder you want) Then open notepad, open tempfilename, and print it from there. 2. Write (for example in Notepad) a 1-line text file: DIR %1 /O >LPT1: Save it as "printdir.bat" in the "Send To" folder. Then, to print list of files in any folder, right-click that folder and select Send to \| printdir.bat To include subfolders, change the comand to DIR %1 /O/S >LPT1: 3. Go to http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q321379 and follow the instructions there. 4. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware utilities that can do this, such as the popular http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp -- Ken Blake - Microsoft MVP Windows: Shell/User Please reply to the newsgroup >> Stay informed about: Can I print a list of folder contents?

Thanks enormously for these suggestions. I started with Gerry's PrintFolder freeware, since it seemed the simplest, and it's perfect, so I won't need to test out the other suggestions, though very grateful to all who responded. >> Stay informed about: Can I print a list of folder contents?
