Sounds easy but how do you do it (other than doing a print screen)?
 
Go to a Command prompt. For example, Start Run CMD
Change to desired directory using CD command.
Generate a sorted list of files in the directory using :

dir /s >C:\Temp\Dir.TXT

Now the file can be opened in Word, Notepad, Excel, etc.

Look into other dir options using dir /?
You may find parameters that are more suited to what you want to do.
 

Thanks! It worked like a charm. *s*
 
If you just want a list of directories / files print you could try using this at the command prompt.


Dir C:\ >> Lpt1

Where C:\ is the directory you interested in and Lpt1 is where your printer is mapped to.
