Here are three ways:

1. 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. Go to
http://support.microsoft.com/default.aspx?scid=kb;EN-US;Q321379
and follow the instructions there.



3. Download and use any of the several freeware/shareware
utilities that can do this, such as the popular

If you go to Karen Ware (http://www.karenware.com/powertools/powertools.asp)
you will find under Free Progams, a file called Directory Printer. Works
great. And it is free!!

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR
command (type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to
modify the output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text
file using NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.
