Print Directory

Feb 29, 2004 9:10AM PST

Hi,
Just wanted to printout directories of my cd's to just make a small listing of what's on the cd and dvd's.

How do I printout a copy of a directory when I use my Command Prompt Window? Or maybe you know of a better way to do this?

I am using XP Pro

Thanks,
Rocky

use the command:

dir d: /s /a:-d > d:\dirlist.txt Creates listing in a file that can be edited and does not list subdirectories but does list their contents.

dir d: /s /a:-d > lpt writes directly to the printer port

I use "send to" in the context file. There is a folder called "send to" where you can place folder names where you want files sent to. Just drag the icon for your printer into that folder. Later you can right click on a file name for actions to select from.
