I'm using a batch file with CD %1, similar to the PrintDir batch file in an Annoyances
article from 2001. The theory is that if a folder is highlighted in Explorer, a right
click selection of PrintDir results in a printout of the files in the folder. I'm
assuming the %1 parameter is not recognized in Vista, as I'm getting a printout covering
the system32 folder, regardless of the highlighted folder.

2001 probably pre-dates XP too, so unsurprising the batch file is struggling :-(
Some thoughts here
But Karen's Directory printer is maybe altogether an easier approach ?

Karenware's Print Directory doesn't show name of directory nor total size of files,
like DOS does. The only solution I can come up with is to eliminate the CD %1 in
the batch file, then copy it to the desired folder, and run it from there. That works,
except the name of the batch file is included in the printout. Never mind the registry
entry. Any more thoughts out there?

Vitsta and Xp lost the ability and Vista has to have a mod to correct this lack of
features. I found the cure in Oreilly press for this.
You need to open Notepad and make a batch file with the following information EXACTLY!
Then save it as Dirlisting.reg Save it using ANSI Text.
REGEDIT4
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\filelisting]
@="Create File Listing"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\filelisting\command]
@="cmd /c dir \"%L\" /a /-p /o:gen > filelisting.txt"
Double-click the fi le to import it into the Registry, and you’re ready to go.
To remove this entry, you need to delete the HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\fi
lelisting key.
Running the Hack
That’s it! Congratulations. You’ve created a new item on the context menu that’s
ready to go to
work. So, now that it’s there, what can you do with it?
Open up Windows Explorer. Navigate to whatever folder you want to use as the basis
for the fi le list,
and right-click to open the context menu. Click the Create File Listing item (see
Figure 3-10), and the
list will be generated and displayed at the bottom of the open Notepad window as
fi lelisting.txt. A file will show up on your desk top with the dir listing you wanted
that can be printed, modified, or what ever you want.

When I use this feature, I can't find the filelisting.txt file. Shouldn't it end
up in the accessed folder? Sorry I'm late with this. Been busy.

I had this problem when I wanted to print out my MP3 files on my D Drive, after a
lot of searching I found this:
dir c:\*.mp3 /s > music.txt
It works perfect, of course you'll have to change the text to what you want to print
out...
Hope this helps you.

By George, Deb. I think you solved the problem. I download music (paid for) and need
something to list recent mp3 files in a particular folder. Tanx!

It's a god send to me, cos' my family are always wanting to know what music i've
got and there's far too much of it to type it all out in word... in fact i've got
well over a 100GB of MP3's, so now I just send them the text file...
Happy Christmas

Try Directory Report http://www.file-utilities.com
It prints directory name, size and MP3 tags
DOS output is too basic

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... :(
