In windows is there a way to print a folder and all the files listed under that folder. I now you can do this in dos but was wondering if there is a way in windows to do it?

Try this freeware:
http://www.dirfile.com/downloadnow_d..._freeware.html
btw in dos it would just be 'dir >prn /s' assuming you change to the top level directory you want the listing from - full syntax here
als in dos try:
tree /f>prn/s
if all you want is a listing of files and folders as well as sub folder contents.
Can't use the '/s' switch with 'tree' - its meant to give the directory structure for a drive, & the '/f' switch adds file listings for each directory, but you can start in a directory & list from there on down, 'tree c:\windows /a' for instance - syntax here ;) - which'll be 'tidier' than all the columns you get with dir :).Quote:

I guess you'll have to ask scabs that question. ;)
You can also download a copy of Creative Element Power tools. It is freeware.

You can right click on the parent folder and choose "Copy Folder Listing" and then paste it into any app like notepad or MS Word... kinda nifty...
also has some other cool features.
