printing the directory

[Laguilar]

Hi all, I read on the knowledge base article 321379 "HOW TO: Add a "Print
Directory" Feature for Folder in Windows XP"

The instructions work fine, but, when it runs it closes the file, I like to
have the file open to modify or format it in a certain way.
Below are the instructions. I would prefer to either open it in Excel or
Word.

Thanks

Luis
Create the Printdir.bat File
To create the Printdir.bat file:
1.. Click Start, click Run, type notepad, and then click OK.
2.. Paste the following text into Notepad:
@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing" exit

3.. On the File menu, click Exit, and then click Yes to save the changes.
4.. In the Save As dialog box, type %windir%\Printdir.bat, and then click
Save.

Delete the last line if you don't want the file deleted when excel =
closes.
