How do I print a list of SOnar files in a directory

In the days of DOS this was easy, now I have no idea how to print a list of directory content. I'm wanting to list all my Sonar files in each of their directories before the WIN 10 update.

Hmm... maybe you could do the same thing via the command prompt. Isn't that kind of a way to see the OS/system in all its old school texty glory and/or get all DOS on your system's butt?
 
I really have no idea because text based interaction is before my time. I just know there is some kind of old timey backdoor via the Command/DOS prompt option. Might be able to view and print from there.
 
Edit: Just went to Start > Accessories > Command Prompt and up popped a DOS looking window waiting for me to tell it something. I'm assuming that's what you want. Better than trying to figure out the stupidity that is Windows Explorer. I have never seen a "Print" option in those windows.

Back in the day you could get a directory listing and redirect it to the printer. There's no command there now. I may have to consult Microsoft.

I still use CMD for this.
(Start -> Run... -> CMD -> dir/s/b > list.txt)
 
[Edit: Just noticed that I put in a pipe "|" instead of directing the output to a file ">" - This should work fine now, just used it last night!]

For Win 7 you need to run a mod that will add the print directory listing command to the directory pop up. There's a windows help file that describes the process or you can run a program called FixIt that will modify the registry to add this command. I'll try your suggestion Craig, thanks for the tip.

This has been a weirdly unexplained un-feature of Windows for some time. Microsoft have enshrined a kludge instead of just bringing back an obviously useful feature.

Open the directory in your browser. For example file:///C:/ will open the root directory otherwise I use DOS commands to create a text file and print it: dir /s/b > list.txt

That's what I use.... Karen Kenworthy provided us with some very useful tools - starting back in her days with Winmag (maybe earlier).  Replicator is still the best (and fastest) pure backup tool I have ever used - and still use.
 
A google search for "Karen's Power Tools" should reveal what is available.

Don't fix it in the mix ... Fix it in the take!

Hi,
 
Sometimes even easier ... is to use the Windows' SNIPPING TOOL and take a screenshot, which you can copy to Word, or Paint and then print easily enough. Do make sure you PREVIEW it, as you might have to re-size it on occasion if you do a big one.

Music is not about notes and chords! My poem is not about the computer or monitor or letters! It's about how I was able to translate it from my insides!

If you use the windows help service they will give you a walk through that gives you a print directory option for every folder. Right click on any of the Sonar folders and select print directory. It's really useful to have.

Mine has a context menu that keeps asking "Can I delete this awful noise now?"
