Print Screen

[Bob]

I want to print the index/file list of a 'burned' CD to
store with the CD as to the contents; however, the 'print
screen' feature will not print the
list/index/directory/filename.

I have read 'how-to' articles and the data on 'help', but
nothing advised works. i.e. neither 'alt + print screen'
nor 'print screen' works.

Can anyone advise what would let me print the screen?

You doing this from the command line? If so, do a command such as this on
the CD drive / directory:

dir d:\ > mycdlist.txt

This will put the directory contents into a text file called mycdlist.txt.

If you're doing this from within Windows, the printscreen key will copy the
screen to the clipboard. Hit printscreen and then open Word or something
and paste the image into there.

Hope this helps.

Bob,

You can use the command line DIR command and redirect its output to a
text file that you can print from Notepad. If you'd like something a
little more integrated with Explorer, have a look at a 3'rd party
add-on such as ExpPrint http://www.jddesign.co.uk/.

ExpPrint is an Explorer context menu extension that gives you a "Print
Directory Listing" menu when you select any file folder, drive, or
files. It has quite a comprehensive sorting and layout capability,
and is only a small download.

ExpPrint is shareware, the only restriction on the non-registered
usage is that the Save settings capability is disabled. Other than
that it's fully functional.
