    What is the best way to get a print out of the contents of a Windows directory (file folder)?


    The only way I know to get a hardcopy of the files in a folder is to take successive Snips, put them into Word and print them out. Is there a better way?

    Print Directory option in Windows 10

    Tina,

    I clicked "Me Too" on this one. Here is what I have found so far:

    1. The command line method *does* work, but it's clumsy and awkward compared to KB 321379.

    2. 'Directory List & Print' is a decent freeware. Used with its 'Copy to Clipboard' option, it's really not bad. I may actuallt send Infonautics the $20 if it works out well. I wish I could use it right from File Explorer, though.

    How To Print Folder And Directory Contents In Windows.

    2a. I am able to keep the 'Directory List & Print' link on my Start menu using 'Classic Shell' Windows Start button upgrade, which was so useful on Windows 8.1 that I *did* send them their suggested donation.

    http://www.classicshell.net/

    Here are some other links in my research.

    For now, the winner is 'Directory List & Print', launched from 'Classic Shell'.

    Hope this is helps.

    All the best,

    Rick

    What is the best way to get a print out of the contents of a Windows directory (file folder)?

    Directory Size Utility

    First of all nice utility, Mindweaver!
    Second of all, it's so nice to see that this section ain't dead.

    I have a few questions/suggestions, maybe you'd want to see ...
    • maybe you rename Get Folder button caption to something more intuitive? Add Folder, Get Folder Size, Check Folder Size or something like that?
    • Could you add subfolder files to the right pane? (it can be a tickbox with include sub dirs)
    • maybe you also add export list to excel?
    • there's delete file button maybe you add delete folder button too?
    • and finally maybe you can add UP button for directories?
