I have a solution about Print
Out a Directory Listing:
Tired of trying to find Disk files?
This is the Best for Filing and organizing using Microsoft Outlook 98. Organizing
and finding directories, files and folders couldn’t be any easier than this, if you
have Microsoft Outlook.
Asking: how do I print out a list of my folders (directories) and sub folders (subdirectories)?
( may get you blank looks.)
NEVER FEAR FOR THE ANSWER IS NOW HERE.
One way if you want to, is use DOS, and the tree command.
But Here’s another way and it’s detailed and as graphical.
O.K. lets do this step by step. (This may work in other versions of Outlook as well.)
you can use the resulting printed list along with File-Manager, or Windows Explorer
to organize your entire file system or any part of it.
1. Open Outlook 98
2. Go to the menu at the top, and click on Tools, and then in the drop-down menu
click on find.
3. A small window opens on top of your list of mail messages, if you look in the
top right corner there’s a phrase (Advanced find…) that’s highlighted. Click on that
phrase, and an advanced find window will open.
4. Up at the top of this new window, there is a small box that’s titled Look for:
with a selection arrow pointing down, click on the arrow and chose the type of files
you’re looking for. (I chose files.)Then go to the box on the right of it and click
on the button browse if you want to select another drive.
5. There are 3 tabs called file, more choices, and Advanced. Click on the arrow
in the Of type: box, and select all files (if that’s your choice.)
6. Now go up to the Find Now button and click on it. When it has finished searching
the magnifying glass will stop, and a sub popup window will show the files that it
has found.
7. In the Advance find window go to the menu and click on the word File and a drop
down menu will show (among others) format, and page setup. Select print.
That’s all there is to it. This is the one that stumped Many, until now.
