I have several hundred pictures in a folder. Is there any
way I can PRINT a listing of all the files in this folder
or any folder for that matter?

Hi,

Go to a dos prompt and then go to the folder where the pictures reside

then type this command dir > c:\pictures.txt

this will spool the contents of this folder in the text file and you can retrieve this file later and see the contents.

In addition, do it with a /b and get it in a nicer format!

what do you mean by "go to where your pictures are"? do
you mean something like:
dir>c:\mydocuments\familypictures.txt a/b
with this exact spacing?
