Do you have a suggestion as to how I can find the left mouse key options when clicking on a folder. I can live with this but I would like to correct the function if possible. Some how I managed to also put the print directory option in the left default position. Some how there is an option which is second from the top in the window upon clicking with the right key which also looks like the same option in the "sent to " drop down window which does the new directory print function. I note when I right click on the folder I can select open and list the directory to the video display. The system now also prints the selected directory when clicking with the left mouse key on a folder. While doing the modification I seem to have also modified the use of the left mouse key when clicking on a folder. Thank you for your assistance in this modification. Using your suggestion listed above, I have been able to print directories. Every time you execute, it will over write the file "Listing" so you don't need to worry about deleting it. The command is similar to what we used in the Printdir.bat file, except were "piping" the command together with the "|" character (found above the Enter key and holding Shift down).īy using "|" (SHIFT+\ above Enter key), it allows you to execute two commands at once. Yea, if you like to work at the command prompt, you can just type printdir.bat (if you created the batch file) at the prompt or enter the following command:ĭir /-p /o:gn > %temp%\Listing | start /w notepad /p %temp%\Listing Much better than mucking around in the registry! Hey What About Printing From The Command Prompt?
Now when you have the need to print a directory tree of folder contents from Windows Explorer, just right click and select Send To \ Print Directory Listing. Type Print Directory Listing in the " Type a name for this shortcut" and click Finish.Type %windir%\Printdir.bat in the " Type the location of the item:" field and click Next.In the SendTo folder, right click and select New \ Shortcut.
