AAH,
All I can suggest is that you try again. I have just followed the
instructions set out in KB272623 on a Win Me system and now have "Print
Directory Listing" as a right list option on folders and it appears to be
working as intended.
Does the content of the text file "Prin.bat" exactly match that in KB272623?
Did you use copy and paste to create Prin.bat, if not, do so.
Did you place the file "Prin.bat" in the C:\Windows folder? If not, you
must do this.
Do you see "Print Directory Listing" as a right click option when you select
a folder?
Hopefully you will find that you made a simple typing error and that it now
works. By the way KB272623 contains a small error. Step 5 should be as
follows:
5. Click "Advanced", and then click "New"

Where are you getting the error messages? - at the point where you
right-click, or during the printing session?
(it works fine here)
Are you sure that you saved the Prin.BAT file to the Windows folder
(NOT the System or System 32 folders!)?

Thanks for your help.

Thanks for your help.
I have sorted out now.
I was not using Windows Me Notepad.exe
but a freeware Winpad.exe one. I did not
realised that it makes a difference.

AAH,
I'm pleased to read that you've now got this working. I'm not really
certain why using Winpad should have caused you problems unless it saves
files in RTF or similar format by default rather than as plain ASCII..
Best wishes,
Mike M

The problem was that - C:\Windows\Notepad.exe - was
the renamed file from Win32pad.exe and so the bat file
was getting stuck. When I placed back the Windows
notepad.exe into Windows folder, it worked.
Thanks for your help.
