List in Windows XP
1. Start Windows in your normal fashion.

2. Click "Start" and "All Programs." Follow up by clicking "Accessories" and "Command Prompt."

3. Begin by typing "cd\" (don't include the quotation marks) at the command prompt and pressing "Enter." This will return you to the root directo
drive (most likely "C:>").

4. Type "cd\" again, but this time follow the cd\ command with the name of the directory from which you want to print a file list. For example, yo
"cd\Windows" to open the Windows directory.

5. Type "dir > filename.txt". Feel free to change the word "filename" to whatever you'd like to name your file list.

6. Note that you can set the file list you print to show only the file names by using the "/b" command line parameter. In this way, directories, ext
would be omitted from the final output.

7. Return to Windows from the command prompt and head to the directory in which you produced the file list. It will appear in the same director
to have a file list created.

8. Double-click on the text file to open it.

9. Press "Ctrl-P" to send the file list to the default printer.
