HOW TO: Add a "Print Directory" Feature for Folders in Windows XP
http://support.microsoft.com/default...b;en-us;321379
SUMMARY
This article describes how to add a "print directory" feature for folders in Windows XP. After you follow the steps in this article, you can right-click a folder, and then click Print Directory Listing to print a directory listing of the folder's contents.
Create the Printdir.bat File
To create the Printdir.bat file:
Click Start, click Run, type notepad, and then click OK.
Paste the following text into Notepad:
@echo off
dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing"
start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing" exit
On the File menu, click Exit, and then click Yes to save the changes.
In the Save As dialog box, type %windir%\Printdir.bat, and then click Save.
back to the top
Create a New Action for File Folders
Click Start, click Control Panel (or, point to Settings, and then click Control Panel), and then click Folder Options.
On the File Types tab, click File Folder.
Click Advanced, and then click New.
In the Action box, type Print Directory Listing.
In the Application used to perform action box, type printdir.bat, and then click OK.
Click OK, click OK, and then click Close.
Edit the Registry
WARNING: If you use Registry Editor incorrectly, you may cause serious problems that may require you to reinstall your operating system. Microsoft cannot guarantee that you can solve problems that result from using Registry Editor incorrectly. Use Registry Editor at your own risk.
After you follow the steps in the previous sections, Search Companion may start when you double-click a folder (instead of the folder being opened). Or, if you have associated other actions with file folders, those actions may be performed instead.
To resolve this issue:
Start Registry Editor (Regedt32.exe).
Locate the Default value under the following key in the registry:
HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell
Click Modify on the Edit menu.
Type none in the File data box, and then click OK.
Quit Registry Editor.
Hope this can help as well
