I'm running win 98 and Iwas wondering how to print out a listing of all files in a paticular directory. Prefferably sorted in alphabetical order. Any ideas?

This is a good 3rd party software, freebie and a little over 1mb in size.

Hi Joe,
Email me and I will send you a program that will help you with that.

Start | Settings | Folder Options... | File Types
| (under Registered file types | File Folder |
Edit... | New... | Action: | (type "save
directory" or whatever you want to call this; it
will become the right-click menu option for a
folder) | Application used to perform this action:
| (type "command.com /c dir /b/o > d:\dir.txt") |
OK

/b takes away everything but the file name, /o
puts them in alphabetical order, and substitute
"d:\dir.txt" with where you want to save the file
and the name you want to call it.

Precautions. (1) This does not save files in
subfolders, just the name of the subfolder. (2)
Every time you invoke this command (through
right-clicking), you overwrite the previous file,
so change its name or location before proceeding,
OR write ">>" instead of ">" to the command above,
which just adds new text to the bottom of the
file.

Print a folder listing from within Explorer
You can add a useful feature to Windows 98's Windows Explorer that allows you to print a listing of the folder's contents without ever visiting the command prompt.

First, create the following batch file on your computer. (You can copy and paste this text into Notepad.exe.)

@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit

Save this batch file in the Windows folder as List.bat. Start Explorer, click Tools | Folder Options, and select the File Types tab. Click File Folder | Edit | New. In the Action field, type Print Folder List, and in the Application Used To Perform Action field, select List.bat. Click OK to save your modifications.

In Explorer, right-click the Folder To list and select the Print Folder List option. Notepad will open and the list will be printed to your default printer.

Very Neat little Trick.

Thanks Fork_Boy.
