Many of the old MS-DOS commands still work in Windows XP. You can
redirect a dir command to a text file by typing "dir directory_name

> file.txt" from the Command prompt. You will have less typing to

do if you move to the subdirectory before completing the command.
The text file will be created in the same subdirectory. You can
then use Notepad, Wordpad or your favorite word processor to open
the text file and print if desired. The Print Screen will only copy
what is visible on the screen. If the list takes more than one
window, only the last windows will be copied. The Copy command in
the directory tree copies the actual file and not the file name.
Power Toys for Windows XP allows you to send the name to the
clipboard as name only but it sends the complete path.
