Thank you Andre, that web site was the ticket. A friend of mine has been
moaning about this for years (ever since fileman disappeared). I modified the
SendTo batch file mentioned on the page to save the directory list to a temp
file then print the temp file using notepad. Here is the text.

Dir %1 > %temp%\DirList.txt
%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe /p %temp%\dirlist.txt
cls

Using notepad, save those three lines, in a file called "Directory
Printer.bat" (name is really irrelevant but it needs the .bat extension) in
your "SendTo" folder. After that you can right click any folder in any
windows browser and the select SendTo - Directory Printer. Obviously this
saves the text in a temp file but that could come in handy too.

Hi, Fan.

You might also find this KB article interesting:
How to add the Print Directory feature for folders in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/?kbid=321379

I haven't tried it in x64, but it should work. Let us know if you try it.

Adding it to send to is a nice touch. As for the temp file, it really
_should_ clean up after itself.

Ok, same thing with an extra line to delete the temp file.

Dir %1 > %temp%\DirList.txt
%SystemRoot%\system32\notepad.exe /p %temp%\dirlist.txt
del %temp%\DirList.txt
cls
