I'm unclear on how to do this; by "two-line Print.bat file" do you mean the four-line
listing at the bottom of the post? And shouldn't the value for the key then be PRINT.BAT
instead of PRINTDIR.BAT in the Registry key? How is the command then invoked? Right-clicking
while in the directory you want to print? Or from Windows Explorer? Sorry, but
I'm a registry newbie...Thanks.
