    Need Dir print utility

    I'm looking for a Directory printing utility that can be configured to print only folders on the root of a drive and one sub-level of folders below them.

    What I have is a large number of programs and utilities and pictures saved on my system. They are saved in folders by their name and these folders are then placed as sub-folders in category folders on the root of a drive. For example the drive I save programs on has a "Graphics" root folder under which are several graphics programs saved in their own sub-folder under the "Graphics" folder.

    I want to print a list of the root (category) folders with the first level of sub-folders or program folders only.

    Every utility and DOS print variant that I have tried will print a text file list of only the root folders but cannot be used or set to print only the first level of sub-folders under the root folders. What I get is all levels of sub-folders being printed often with all the files in the second and lower level of folders also being printed.

    So far I have tried these utilities;

    APrintDirect
    A-Run
    Advcat
    AdvDirPrinter
    Advdirprnt
    CDList
    Cdlistcreator
    DirRrntr
    Dirprnt
    Diskcat
    Diskcat2
    DISKINDX\Ver61B
    DISKINDX\Ver20
    DISKINDX\Ver30
    EXP_Print
    JDirPrint
    ListMaker
    PrntDir
    PrntFold
    STGFldrPrntPlus
    TreePrnt

    Any suggestions?

    What you need is a custom Visual Basic application to do what you want. It is relatively easy to write one to do this. If you do not have Visual Basic, you might be able to do it with VBA (Visual Basic for Applications). If you have Microsoft Office, you should have this. I don't know if you can do it with VBScript or not. I'd have to check to see if you can do it with QBasic. QBasic was part of Windows 95. I don't know if it is on the Win98 CD or not, but you could search for it. Of course, all this assumes you have some knowledge of programming.

    As a last resort, you might be able to persuade someone on www.vbforums.com to write an application to do this and send you the .exe file for it. It couldn't hurt to try.

    jdc2000 - Thanks - I have a friend, a very capable programmer, who is giving it a shot in various languages.
