And with all these changes and "improvements" they still have been unable to come up with a simple way to print a directory listing. It's truly astounding.

C:\> DIR /s >PRN has always worked for me.

So has:

C:\> DIR /s >directory.txt

I don’t understand this. I have a folder, say it’s called STUFF. It has some documents and a few subfolders containing their own documents in it. I would like to print a list of the documents and subfolders along with a list of the subfolders’ documents in my STUFF folder. Where do I put this “C:\> DIR /s >directory.txt” to get a printable document?

For example, I want to print out a directory listing of a folder located inside MY DOCUMENTS, like this:

STUFF (folder inside MY DOCUMENTS)
MOM’S STUFF (subfolder of STUFF)
Deed to House (document inside MOM’S STUFF folder)
letter (document inside MOM’s STUFF folder)
BILL’S LETTERS (subfolder of STUFF folder)
Letter to Gas Co (document inside BILL’S LETTERS folder)
Document inside STUFF folder
Document inside STUFF folder
Document inside STUFF folder

How does one get a directory listing like this to print using “C:\> DIR /s >directory.txt”? Where do I type “C:\> DIR /s >directory.txt”?

BTW, I’m using Windows 7

Any help would be much appreciated. Believe me, I’ve googled this many many times and have NEVER found a way to print this. It should be a very simple process, don’t you think?

#37 Windows 10 still does not have the ability to print a list of your files in a folder. File> print and select what you want to do
How hard would that be?
Windows 10 is just Windows 95 with a different look.
