Question about 'Print Out a Directory Listing'

I have a question about Print
Out a Directory Listing:
The directory that is being printed is not the target directory. For example I would
have expected that if I right click on the System folder in the Windows directory
and pull down to Print that I would have a printout of the contents of the System
directory, instead I get a print of the Windows directory. I believe this has to
do with the line CD %1 (which by the way is unneccessary the batch file can be just
DIR .\%1 >LPT1). I don't know how win98 runs their arguments for batch files with
right click runs.
My half-baked fix for myself was to alter the properties of PRINTDIR.BAT so that
it has a command key of CTRL+F12 so that way I can print any directory from inside
it with that keystroke.

There are many apps around that will do this far better
than that half-baked solution, which gives very untidy output. Here's one:-Karen Kenworthy's Directory
