From time to time I want to print off a list of MP3 titles or digital photos stored in a folder. On Linux you would just direct the output of the listing command to the printer - something like:
ls -l > lpt1
but on Windows there wasn't an easy way to do this.
Microsoft have now 'fixed it' for XP, Vista and Win 7 with a patch that you can download from:
https://support.microsoft.com/kb/321379
Halfway down this Knowledge Base article is a link to 'Fix it'. Click on this and you can download the file: MicrosoftFixit50548.msi
Double click this and a "Microsoft Fix it" window will appear. Accept the license terms and follow the instructions to add a 'Print Directory Listing' option to the pop-up menu when you right-click on a folder. It's quick, simple and worked on my Windows 7 system.
