re: Question about 'Print Out a Directory Listing' Tuesday, September 8, 2009 at 2:11 am Windows Vista Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Ilbrujo (1 messages posted) This looks perfect but only for subdirectories. This doesn't work on root directly or on a CD or DVD with folders. What I mean is I think the best thing is to have it on the right click menu ALWAYS (so it works on root units, CDs, DVDs, removable disks, etc...) and export the txt file always in the same and known place. Can you recheck and modify it properly? I made my own one (it was so simple!!!) a lot ago but I lost it and I never was able to repeat it... :( On Friday, May 30, 2008 at 6:42 am, Charlie Hadden wrote: > >Vitsta and Xp lost the ability and Vista has to have a mod to correct this lack of >features.
