List Directory Contents to Text File - Easy Method

Generating Lists of Folder Contents with Directory Print

Do you occasionally require a readily available, printable listing or text file detailing the files within a specific folder on your computer? With Directory Print, obtaining such a list is now a swift and straightforward process.

Installation and Setup

A significant advantage of Directory Print is its portability; installation is not necessary. Simply place the executable file into your desired folder or location. A shortcut can then be created for convenient access. Upon launching Directory Print, the contents of the current folder will be displayed automatically.

Using Directory Print

To begin, utilize the drop-down directory menu located at the top of the application to navigate to the folder whose contents you wish to examine. Once the desired directory is displayed, you have the option to either print a list of its contents or save that list as a text file.

The application allows for customization of the displayed information. You can adjust settings to include or exclude specific file attributes, such as System Files or Read Only files.

It's important to note that Directory Print focuses on displaying files directly within the selected folder. Sub-folders contained within that location will not be listed.
