This is what I want to do. First of all, I'm running Windows 7 Professional.

On my desktop I have a folder with my name.

When I open that folder, I have a number of other folders. Some of the names of
the folders are Graphics, Games, Logitech, Maintenance, Science, Utilities, and
so on.

When I open up any one of those folders, there are shortcuts to programs which I
have installed which fit into those categories.

What I want to know is, is it possible in some way to print the contents of one
of the folders, say Games, to get a printout of all the shortcuts in that
folder?

The reason I want to do so is when I get a new machine, I want to be able to go
through the lists and see what I want to install on the new system that I had on
the old. I just want a printed record of all the programs I have installed.

Thanks for any insight.

Presumably - you don't say - there's some reason why you can't simply
look at your old computer when setting up your new one. My instinct
wouldn't be to print anything. I'd copy the folder from my desktop, and
possibly a screen shot showing the layout(s), to a memory stick, and put
that into my new computer. The shortcuts might actually work, which
could save time re-creating them. If my old computer was no longer
available, I'd also include on the memory stick a screen shot of
"Control Panel: Programs and Features" for completeness.
