1. How can I print from the directory structure of Windows? I'm looking at a folder and its contents (sorta like in "My computer" and subfolders and such. And I want a hardcopy of the view of the directory structure.)

If you want to simply print whats on the screen, just use Alt-PrintScreen with the directory on the screen. Then goto paint and use "PASTE" .. then print it.
If your a dos person (and care little for graphical display), then you can do DIR > PRN:
If you want a complete breakdown of just your directory structures, try this

You don't even have to press ALT while pressing PrintScreen to achieve this effect. Printscreen alone does copy the whole display."I have been reading up on the universe and have come to the conclusion that the universe is a good thing." -- Dissident

1. It's WinXP. Don't really want a DOS picture. I like the picture in My Computer or in Explorer or File Manager.
2. Why do I have to go to paint. Why can't I print out of that screen? Isn't the OS supposed to be well-thought out? Ergonomic? AHven't they been messing with it for decades? Is it such a strange thing to want to print a list of files?

Printscreen used to do just that, but that was in the days of text and word-processors. Now printsceen is some kind of graphic hence the need for a paint program.We need seperate human-only games for MP/PBEM that dont include the over-simplifications required to have a good AI

Alt + PrtScn --> copies the display of the currently active window
So there is a difference.

Windows s*cks when it comes to file management (among other things). Print-Scrn or a Dos Windows are pretty much your only options, though I wouldn't be surprised if there was some decent 3rd party software that could do it (I wonder if Norton Commander still exists...)

Because for 0.00000001% of the userbase that needs to print directory listings, that's what the command line is for."The issue is there are still many people out there that use religion as a crutch for bigotry and hate. Like Ben."
