I'm intend transfering all my personal photos from my work laptop to a CD. These are split into approx 30 files accumulated over the years, eg "Dordogne Bike Trip to France 2009" "Ireland Bike Trip 2007" "Carolyns Wedding" etc etc.

In Microsoft Explorer, is there a way I can print off a list of files in a particular drive, so I can keep this with the CD for future reference? :nenau
 
Yes ...

sort of ...
From a command prompt
type the following

tree d:\ /F /A > c:\tree.txt

the d:\ is the drive / path you want to list .... so you will need to change this to reflect what you want to list
C:\tree.txt is a text file of the results

You can do it, but not through IE .......HERE :)
 
my way is much geekier :type:jibber

I certainly wouldn't disagree with you there ;)

I'm sure Taff knows how to get a command prompt box up, but I'd guess that most computer users these days haven't even seen one let alone know how to use it ;)

"Dos? that's somewhere you sleep after a party, innit??"
:blast

:D
 
I`d open the folder containing the files, maximize it so it fills the screen, select view/list and then use print screen and paint or word to print off the list.
 
The only way I know, which is a little old fashioned but absolutely guaranteed to work and people often forget about it in this day and age.
Take a piece of paper and a pencil and using your best joined up writing, copy the list onto the paper.
Voila.
