Would you like to be able to right click any folder in Explorer
and print its contents?
You can add this option to the context menu by following these steps:
- First, you need to create a batch file called Printdir.bat
- Open Notepad and type (or cut and paste) this text
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit
- Now, in the Save As dialog box, type "%windir%\Printdir.bat" (without the quotation marks) and click the Save button.
- Click Start --> Control Panel --> Folder Options
- Click the File Types tab and then click File Folder
- Click the Advanced button
- Click the New button
- In the Action box, type "Print Directory Listing" (without the quotation marks)
- In the Application used to perform action box, type "Printdir.bat" (without the quotation marks).
- Click OK in all three dialog boxes to close the dialog boxes.
- Now, go to registry editor (Run --> regedit)
- Navigate to HKEY CLASSES ROOT\Directory\shell
- Right click on "default" and select Modify
- In the File Data box, type "none" (without the quotation marks)
- Click OK and close the Registry Editor
Selecting it will print the contents of the folder.
