jaybee Posts: 14207 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	Print Directory - 1/6/2005 17:39:57 I have had occasions where it would have been useful to be able to print off the content of directories. Hunting around, I found this. I'm not sure which OS they relate to as the instructions aren't 100% correct for WIN XP but they're close enough to be able to figure out. Result. Open Explorer, right click on a folder and you have a new option - Print Directory Listing http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=KB;EN-US;q272623 [edit] Warning, see post below if you are doing this with Windows XP. You may need to make a change to the registry [/edit] < Message edited by jaybee -- 1/11/2005 5:53:16 > _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.

emoss2 Posts: 105 From: Long Island, NY, USA Status: offline	RE: Print Directory - 1/10/2005 22:45:19 Well, it worked for me on XP, but now all my folders open to the search window rather than the folder list, directory tree..., and it appears that I cannot delete the association to the prin.bat file.... Any suggestions ??? EBM (in reply to Donkey)

You can get round it by clicking the folder in the folder view in the left hand pane rather than in the main body of explore. Then they open up as normal.

jaybee Posts: 14207 Joined: 10/7/2003 From: Berkshire, UK Status: offline	RE: Print Directory - 1/11/2005 5:49:35 OK, this works. Warning - I've only tried this in XP. so if anyone has the search box opening problem in earlier O/S do this at your own risk. Edit the registry follow these steps exactly: 1. Start Registry Editor (start>run> type regedit in the box) 2. Find HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell, select it, and then select the Default file name in the right hand pane. (don't try to open them, just select them) 3. Click Modify on the Edit menu. 4. In the File data box, type: none 5. Click OK. 6. Quit Registry Editor. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is. GAWDS Now where did I put that Doctype? (in reply to jaybee)


clum1 Posts: 762 From: Glasgow, Scotland Status: offline	RE: Print Directory - 1/11/2005 6:22:04 Alternatively, you can (from a command prompt) print the directory listing to a file that can then be edited before printing out. The basic command dir > c:\files.txt will create a list of everything in the c:\ directory in a file (also in c:) called files.txt. You can open this in any text editor to clean it up for printing etc. Adding the switch /s at the end (dir > c:\files.txt /s) will recursively search through every directory, listing all files and subfolders. On my PC, this gave me a 7Mb text file, so be careful how you use it! An obvious use for this is to list all the files in a web, eg at: c:\inetpub\wwwroot\MyWeb>dir > c:\files.txt /s Will list all the files in MyWeb. You can clean out all the _vti stuff easily in the text file. There's tons of other switches available; I can't remember them all though a google search on Dos commands should find them, happy listing, clum1 _____________________________ kenilweb.com; simple, effective web design "So I said to the Gym instructor "Can you teach me to do the splits?"

6. Quit Registry Editor.

7. Restart machine or Log off then Log On

After editing registry, always reload the current windows environment

Enter the command dir /? that will bring up all attributes usable by the dir command

In reply to the above problem: Follow the same instructions as for print, but call this one 'open'. Use explorer.exe, then set it as the default. (in reply to Giomanach)

You can select which bits of a directory you want to print or sort them, whatever. If you choose to install in a directory other than the default of Program Files, make sure you have created the directory first or you'll get an install error. _____________________________ If it ain't broke..... fix it until it is.
