Print Directory

Is it possible with Windows XP sp 2 to print out all, or part, of the
contents of hard disk C:? That is a tree showing folders, sub folders and
files. I recall being able to do something like this with a DOS v 2
command about a hundred years ago. I appreciate that a full 80GB disk would
require a lot of printing. Any ideas anyone?

Using the command line from the root directory:
dir /s > dirall.txt

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.
