How to print a list of files in a Windows 7 directory.
There is very easy to print a list of files in directory on Windows xp. You just need to dropdown file, hit print director, and it provided a basic listing of files in the director.
I wonder if there is a simpler way to do in Windows 7.
1. Click Start button --> All Programs--> Accessories --> Command Prompt.
2. Use "cd directoryname" command to go to the directory from which you want to print a file list.
3. Type "dir > filelist.txt".
4. Double-click on the filelist.txt file and press "Ctrl-P" to print list of files in a folder on windows 7.
Or you need to instll firefox on Windows 7. And drop the folder on the Firefox icon, then firefox will open with a printable file list. It's the easier way.

Another utility that not only prints the list but can also show you space taken up by folders, file types, etc:

remember a parameter to get more information "/s" to include sub directories. Old DOS commands, type on the DOS screen dir /? for more info.
ReplyDeleteIt's generally more useful to use the /B switch with your dir command
ReplyDeleteexample:
C:\Movies>dir /B > list.txt
Also, if the directory you need a list of is stored on a removable drive, such as a USB drive, then you will need to use the /d switch with your cd command.
example: C:\>cd /d k:
The example above assumes your USB drive is seen as the k drive in windows.
On a MAC, you can do Command-A on whilst in a folder, then Command-C, and if the target after that is a text editor, you jusy Command -V and it just pastes the filenames with extensions, Genius! I've beena PC guy for years, is there not anythinglike this for Windows we can use?
