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.


If you navigate to that folder on your desktop with explorer you can
simply hold the shift key and right click, you'll get a menu with 'open
command prompt here'. This way you don't have to CD to anything. Then simply type:

dir *.lnk /s

Dir *.ink FolderName.txt
for each folder which could be in DropBox for import into new PC
