Printing directory from Windows Explorer
You can use a slight modification to this article:
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379 How to add the Print Directory feature for folders in Windows XP The problem with this article under Vista is that there's no way to create a new action for file folders. To overcome this, we can use the "Send To" feature. Create the "printdir.bat" file and place it in your "Windows" folder per the article. Next, go to 'Start|Run", enter the line: shell:sendto in the Run window and click OK. This will open the "Send To" folder. Right click in the folder, select "New|Shortcut", use the "Browse" button to navigate to the printdir.bat file you created, click OK, click Next, give the shortcut a name (I used "Print Directory"), and click "Finish". To test this, open Windows Explorer, right click any folder and go to "Send To", then "Print Directory". I find this works well and on all versions of Windows hat have the "Send To" context menu. More on how to add items to the "Send To" menu is he http://adacosta.spaces.live.com/blog...DB!15739.entry Adding Folders and Programs to the 'Send To' Context Menu in Windows Vista Hal -- Hal Hostetler, CPBE -- Senior Engineer/MIS -- MS MVP-Print/Imaging -- WA7BGX http://www.kvoa.com -- "When News breaks, we fix it!"
