Q321379 - Printing Directory Listing with Vista
I am still having problems with the following Q321379 Article by Microsoft.
http://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379 It works sometimes, but most of the time I end up with an empty Directory Listing, even though the Folder contains lots of folders and files. I am unsure about Step 5 of the Registry instructions: 1.Start Registry Editor. 2.Locate the following registry key: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell 3.On the Edit menu, click New, and then click Key. Type Print Directory Listing, and then press ENTER. 4.Select Print Directory Listing, click New on the Edit menu, and then click Key. 5.Enter a command for the name of the new subkey, and then press ENTER. 6.Double-click the default entry that is listed in the "command" subkey. 7.In the Value data box, type Printdir.bat %1. 8.Click OK, and then exit Registry Editor. I just entered "Command" for Step 5 -- is that OK -- could that be causing my problem. For some reason, I don't think so because the Print operations works, some of the time -- but woud still like to know what is expected in Step 5. Anyway, the "Print Dir" shows up when I right-click a folder, but the results are not consistent when click on it -- sometimes it prints the Directory Listing, but most of the time it just prints an empty Directory/Folder. Is there some fix for this. I really want the capacility to print out the Directory Listing of the contents of a folder. I wish MS would provide this feature. -- Ron in Round Rock |

You should try *wList* for that, see: 'SharkTime Software - wList - Create file list [image: http://www.sharktime.com/wlist/img/w...er_120x90.gif] ' (http://www.sharktime.com/us_wList.html) I'ts easy, install wList and create a file list with 'right click context menu' (http://www.sharktime.com/wlist/help/us0015.html). It has other interesting features like: file type filtering, export to playlist or HTML.
