Quickie tip 'Print Out a Directory Listing'

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):
- Type dir /o:gn
- Click the 'c:\' icon in the cmd window title bar and pick Edit..Mark
- Use your mouse to highlight the info you want, then press Enter to send it to
the clipboard.
- 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)

WHy worry about size? Redirect the ouotput to a file then you can print the file.
dir /o:gn > dir.list
or pipe the optput directly to the printer
dir /o:gn | lpt1

There are lots of ways to do this (adding to the context menu is fine, sending to
a file or printer is fine), my point was that when you're in a hurry and just want
to copy some filenames quickly, many folks don't know copy/paste is possilbe from
the cmd window.

The best (free) program I ever found for creating a list of a directory is LS File
List Generator version v1.53.
I used it with Windows 98SE without a problem.
It works in XP but I get an error message when I go to exit - not sure what that's
about.
You can find it here:
