    How to Print the content index of a folder
    Can some one Help me, to copy the folder list/content like an index list.

    In any given folder on our computer we have different contents. They can be displayed as icons / thumbnails/ list or Details mode.

    In list mode we can see all the sub-folder and file names
    IN Details mode we can see the Name, Type, Size. Date created etc.

    I know that we can take a screen shot of the View and make a picture out of it, But I want to print a hard copy of the folder contents for my Record. So that when computer is OFF or not available we can check its content from the printed index.

    Few years back I came across a soft where we can copy the folder contents and past it in to some kind of window and save it like a .txt file. May be it was a CD cover designing software or something like that.

    This is probably the easiest way to do what you want (and more):
    Karen's Directory Printer

    Another option that requires no additional software is to open a command prompt window, change directory to the one you want, and then type:
    Dir /on /b *.* >filelist.txt
    This lists the files in the given folder in order by name and puts the list in the file "filelist.txt" (or whatever you specify).

    Hope this helps,

    From the cmd prompt. "dir > filename"; Use dir to see what you get. Use "cd: to change directories.=; use double quoted strings "" for things like "documents and settings".

    Use pwd to print working(current) directory
    Use cd.. to move UP a directory level
