Printing File Names
Anyone know how to copy and print the names of files in a folder? I have a number of files that I want to e-mail but don't know which ones the other party wants and I would like to send him a list so he could tell me what he wants. There is a large number and I don't want to type them all.
I tried screen print and paste but that's not really what I am looking for. Thanks

If you have Windows 7 you can use the Snipping Tool in Accessories. It allows you to select the area of the screen you want to save or email. If there is more than one page, save the consecutive pages to files and then insert them into an email and send it.

I just simply drag and drop individual files or highlighted multiples from my file manager to my Outlook email message and viola! I don't know though if that would work with all email clients or operating systems.

Depends on your operating system. Try this.
Open the folder that holds all the files you want to send the names. Go to "view" my guess is now it shows "icons" change it to list or titles. Then copy the list, it will not copy the files, and you can send just the list. If that does not work, go to tools, folder options, view, and see if you have a list only option there.

Zcaveman: Thanks for that. I did not know Win 7 had that. I have been using Screenhunter 5.
As far as getting a list here is a suggestion that I have used. I am doing this on Win 7, so things may vary slightly in others MS versions. The goal is to use the DIR command in the shell window (what would you expect from a Linux guy). You will be able to take a directory listing and output that listing to a file and attach the file to email. At a high level: Open command shell windowIf you wish to list all of the files in that directory AND all subdirectories simply change the command to DIR /S > emaillist.txt You may be all set with these instructions as is. If not and you would like more detail let me know. Here is an example of the DIR /S method used on my golf cart picture directory: Quote:

Or you can download and install a freeware program such as PrintFolder 1.3 available at No Nonsense Software.

Print File Names
I think the easiest way is to use the print screen command. Just open the file, and when the screen shows what you want to sopy, hit 'print screen'. That will copy the screen into you clipboard, when just paste into the email. Viola!
