No time for the steps in Print Out a Directory Listing:?

If you can locate your folder via the Cmd window (start..run..cmd) and the list isn't extremely long (less than say 300 files):

  1. Type dir /o:gn
  2. Click the 'c:\' icon in the cmd window title bar and pick Edit..Mark
  3. Use your mouse to highlight the info you want, then press Enter to send it to the clipboard.
  4. Open notepad or other app and paste your list. Now you can edit, print, or save it.
Note: You can also use dir /o:gn /b to just get the folder and file names if that's all you want to see. Other dir switches work as well of course, if you need to include creation date, etc. (dir /? for switches)
