Jerry wants to know how to print a list of files in his Documents folder
\n<\/strong>At one time or another I remember being able to print the list of my documents. Cannot figure out how to do this now. Can you help? Jerry<\/p>\n

Our answer
\n<\/strong>Hi Jerry. We are assuming here, that you don’t want to get into long, arcane DOS commands, there’s a little freeware program you can download that makes printing the content of any folder easy. It’s called Directory List and Print. They have a free version and pro version. The free version works just fine if all you want to do is print a list of the contents of Documents or any other folder.<\/p>\n

The site is kind of confusing; they want you to buy the pro license. However, the version you download is the pro version but it’s free. Crazy. In order to activate the pro features (which you probably don’t need) you have to buy a license.<\/p>\n

Also the download link is kind of hard to find. It actually says “English”. You’ll figure it out \ud83d\ude42<\/p>\n

Here’s what the developers have to say:<\/p>\n

“Directory List & Print is a software tool for Windows\u2122 and enables listing and printing the content of any directory in a simplest way. By copying to the clipboard the lists can be exported into other programs or opened directly in Word\u2122 and Excel\u2122. The Free Version (Freeware) has all the basic features included, the Pro Version (Shareware) provides interesting additional features.<\/p>\n

Features<\/p>\n

Pro Version (Shareware) and Free Version (Freeware)
\nSelection of directories to be listed by a tree structure.
\nSelection of directories by entering the path as a text string.
\nDrag & Drop of directories (or a file) from Windows Explorer.
\nIntegration of “Open in Directory List & Print” in the directory context menu of Windows Explorer.

\nIndication of number of entries of files and directories in the list.
\nPrint directory listing, direct printing of corresponding list.
\nExport list into other programs by copying to the clipboard. The corresponding data will be organized in columns and separated by tabs so that the list can be pasted directly into Excel \u2122 as a table.
\nOpen the list directly in Microsoft Word\u2122 and Excel\u2122.
\nSupport for connecting and disconnecting network drives.
\nAutomatic saving of display options when exiting the program.
\nStart program with a directory path as a parameter.
\nPortable Application, no installation necessary…”<\/em><\/p>\n

It really does give you a nice list of files in any folder and the file list is editable before you print it. It’s very easy to use, it doesn’t even need to be installed. Just unzip it and click the EXE file to run it. If you want to know more about the program and\/or download it visit this page:<\/p>\n
