SUMMARY
=======

This article describes how to print a listing of files or folders using Windows
Explorer or My Computer.

MORE INFORMATION
================

To print a listing of files or folders, you can copy an image of a My Computer
or Windows Explorer window to the Clipboard, paste it into an image editing or
word processing program, and then print the image.

To create and print an image of a listing of files or folders using Microsoft
Paint, follow these steps:

1. In My Computer or Windows Explorer, open the folder you want to print, and
  then press ALT+PRINT SCREEN to copy an image of the active window to the
  Clipboard.

2. Click Start, point to Programs, point to Accessories, and then click Paint.

3. On the Edit menu, click Paste, and then click Yes to display the image.

4. On the File menu, click Print.

NOTE: If there are more files or folders than can be displayed in the My Computer
or Windows Explorer window (in other words, you must scroll to see all the files
or folders), you must scroll to view these files, and then repeat steps 1-4.
