Windows Explorer

Question for you computer wizards . . .
I'm in Windows Explorer and have a list of files in a folder that goes on for many screens. Is there some way of printing this list other than doing multiple screen prints? Ideally what I would like is a straight forward, line item list of the files in a text format that can be put into a Word or notepad application and printed. Explorer doesn't appear to let you "copy and paste" the list, so I can't just paste it into an application from the clipboard. Any ideas?

I don't know if you can do that directly from Explorer, but you can open a command prompt in that directory (shift and right click on the folder in Explorer to get a menu with that option) and create a file containing the list of files with:
> dir /b > my_list_of_files.txt

My_list_of_files.txt will then have a list of all the files in that directory (including itself, so you might want to edit that out, or create it in a different directory).

Thanx Rob. I wasn't able to open the command prompt by using "shift and right click" on the folder in Explorer, but I did find a way to do it by opening the Command Prompt directly. What worked best for me was dir/s > myfile.txt The text file was just what I wanted.
