Does any body familiar with DOS commands know how to get the same
results in windows as the following:
DIR *.TXT /O /B > TEST.TXT ?

Mike, Unfortunately there is no way in Windows to print a directory
listing without using a dos window (command prompt) and entering
the DOS command. This function is available if you are using Outlook
(Not Outlook Express); Try this:

1. In Microsoft Outlook, click Other Shortcuts on the shortcut bar.

2. In the Look in box, click File System, and then click My Computer.
NOTE: You may want to view the folder list. (This differs slightly
for different versions of Outlook)

3. Click the folder that you want to list.

4. On the File menu, click Print, click Table Style. Outlook prints
a list of every file that is in that folder and includes the file
size, date, and other attributes.
