Software for Printing Directory Contents

On MS Windows, sometimes I need to print the contents of a directory.  I do this in 2 ways.  The first is to use this nice little piece of software called jdirprint.  It is freeware.  I've scoured the net for other programs, here is my list I've compiled:

  1. Karen's Directory Printer - http://www.karenware.com/powertools/ptdirprn.asp
  2. Print Directory - http://www.widgetech.com/freeware/printdir3_1.shtml
  3. YouDir - http://www.primeoption.com.au/FreewareYourDir.htm
  4. DirPrinting - http://majusoft.de/DirPrinting/index_en.htm

An alternative is to use the command shell (Go to Start button > Run > type "CMD" and hit enter).  Then type:

dir /s /b > listing.txt

The /s and /b are called switches.  My preference for the above code is to put it in a batch file called "whatver_you_want_to_call_it.bat", then you place it in the directory you want to print the contents of, double click it, and the listing.txt file will be created in that same directory.
