I have a number of columns in my directory of files that I would like to send to a file ie name, title, size etc. Is there a way of sending my selected columns to a file?
I realize that this is the Dos section, and perhaps you must ACCOMPLISH this from the command line.
If not however, and all you need is the ability to create a nice list of files, with size INFO, etc. too, and then be able to save it to a text file, then there is a Windows way to get there.

I use a utility program named PrintFolder. Works great.

It is free. ..well, the basic VERSION is free, and that's all I've EVER used.

I hope this helps.
