Question about 'Print Out a Directory Listing'

I have a question about Print
Out a Directory Listing:
I tried to make this *.bat file but could not find the Windows\Command folder to
put it into. I searched all of the window directory and all sub-directories but could
not find it. Could I put it into any directory assuming I change the paratemers.
I use XP pro

Windows\Command is specific to Win95/89/Me. Use C:\Windows instead. And change a
little that batch file like one of these:
cd /d %1
dir > lpt1
or
dir %1 > lpt1
You can avoid creating any batch file, just enter this command instead of c:\...\printcmd.bat:
%windir%\system32\cmd.exe /c dir %1 > lpt1
You can avoid using regedit, open C.Panel -> Folder Options -> File Types, scroll
to File Folder, Advanced, New, insert "Print" and the command above.

I tried the above in XP Pro and it does not work. A cmd session opens & closes quickly
with no printout.
