I was wondering if there is a way to convert a drive's file contents to something that could be printed, like a word document. This would be handy for cataloging b/u drives contents.
?

Open a command shell and enter:

dir /S \ > "files.txt"

enter dir /? for more info on the dir command

You can also just do a print screen with the File Explorer window open to the right directory. Then open a paint program and hit paste.
 
go to the command line and go to the root of the folder or drive you are trying to catalog: type

tree /A /F > filenname.txt


give you a complete list of all file recursilvy from where you are and gives you a sense of structure to it

ls -lrt > file_list

Anyone else know Unix here? :)
 
also, if you're in windows, you can get the power toys "send-to" extensions...

to use:

open up explorer, navigate to a directory, select all the files and right-click, select "send-to clipboard as name". then paste that into any text or word processing program...
