In their item "How to Print a Folder Listing in Windows", Microsoft suggest using Print Screen and saving an image of the Windows Explorer window using Microsoft Paint. The problem with this method is that the list can't be manipulated, ie sorted, searched, edited or printed in a different format, for example landscape. File lists made by DDFileCatcher can be printed, searched, put in spreadsheets or databases and printed in any format set with your word processor or other program.
