How do I print the list of files in a folder?

Hu Jutta, you can do that with Command Prompt . . .

Open a Command Prompt window

Navigate to the folder you you want a listing of

Then use one of the following commands to create a text file in that folder with the listing and you can print that out:

dir > printit.txt will print a list of the files, with full file path

dir /b > printit.txt will print only the file names

dir /o:d > printit.txt will sort the files by date

If you just want a printed listing of what’s inside a folder, here’s what you do.

Open the Command Prompt.  To do that, click Start, type CMD, then right-click Run as administrator.

Change the directory to the folder you want to print the contents of. To do that, use the cd command—for example, “cd c:\users\yourusername\documents”.

Type the following command and hit Enter: dir > listing.txt

This will generate a basic text file listing the contents of the directory. The filename you save can be anything you want. You can call it listing.txt, files.txt, folder.txt or whatever.

This is what it looks like:

If you want to go a step further, you can print the contents of subfolders by issuing the following command: tree “c:\directory_name” > “c:\file_name.txt” /A /F

TIP: On the command line, using “>” will always send the output of the command to a file. It works with any command. You can also use “>>” to append the output to the end of an existing file.

I use snipping tool and take a screengrab of what i need then print that.

That's the fastest and easiest way.

Does that help?

Thanks for your fast reply. I can do the screen capture, I was hoping for a more "elegant" solution. Apparently, there's a process to add a "Print Directory" feature. I'm looking into it.

Try this old method:

Open CMD and go to folder from where you want that list and give command:

Dir >C:[folder you have write access]\Listing.txt

Dir > create new file

Dir >> append to existing file

More options Dir /?
