I want to print directory list and file list under Windows XP.
I found a simple tip with printdir.bat,
@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit

This batch file sends the list to printer.
How can I modify to view the list with notepad?
After viewing with notepad, I may print from notepad menu.

Or any good simple utility you want to recommend?

PowerDesk from Ontrack will do it but it's not free . . . it's a very good file manager though.

check the switches with the notepad.. might be /o for open.

then you can choose to print in the notepad.

/p tells the file to print.

to view the switches for notepad.. you can seartch on line or

run with the commands notepad.exe /? or /help at a command prompt (ie MS-DOS prompt or equivalent)

There is also a great program out there called WhereIsIt that will not only allow you to print folders and files but also generate html pages.

It opens notepad, but also error message (syntax error) pops up.

See, this is why I love this place ... I was only just about to post a thread asking if anyone knew of a good program to catalogue CD contents, and here is my answer! thumbsupsmileyanim.gif biggrin.gif

I'm currently transferring a lot of my CD backups to DVDs and needed a way to catalogue the contents for easy lookup and retrieval ... searching Google gave me lots of "close but no cigar" solutions.
Thanks Parli! smile.gif

Another option can be found here, easy app that also does scheduled listings. Also does HTML listings and MP3 details. It's called Phuzz Indexer.
