There is a program called Tweaki for Power Users, that will add context
menu choices for Print Directory and Print Directory Tree ... it sends
them to a textfile and you print from there. It can be found at
http://www.jermar.com/tweaki.htm
Alternatively and perhaps a little fancier, there is a utility called
EXPPrint, available at
http://www.jddesign.co.uk/
which adds a very flexible and user-configurable context menu popup for
directory printing. A screen shot is at
http://www.jddesign.freeserve.co.uk/expss.gif
EXPPrint is more full-featured and single-purpose ($11US), while
Tweaki's is more basic and less fussy, with the whole app being a bigger
system-settings-tweaker program that has lots of other stuff in it too
($19.99US). Both of these apps are shareware with trial downloads
available, and will run in any 9x flavor of Windows, on up through XP.
I use them both, actually. Sometimes a quick textfile is fine, and at
other times I set up the EXPPrint window with more specific parameters.
(Editorializing) -- it's criminal that Windows, while glomming onto
every add-on, non-OS-related task that MS can get their paws on (such as
web browsing!), has ignored this BASIC file-management function since
day one.
