Karen’s Directory Printer: print folder and file lists and information

Have you ever been confronted to the simple task of printing out a list of every file in a folder, and wondered how you could do that the fast and simple way? Some people would advise you to take a snapshot of your screen, but when you have 200 files in a folder there is no way you could have the whole list on your screen at the same time. Some would tell you to type in some DOS commands, but not everyone is familiar and at ease with command line stuff… So how can you do that?

Well, no more fumbling with My Computer or Windows Explorer, wishing you could print information about all your files. Karen’s Directory Printer is here for you! This free software can print the name of every file on a drive or in a single folder, along with the file’s size, date and time of last modification, and attributes (Read-Only, Hidden, System and Archive)! The list of files can be sorted by name, size, date created, date last modified, or date of last access. You can choose to print the list to your printer, to a text file, or to a space delimited file you can open and work on in Excel or any other spreadsheet software.

WinDirStat – what is taking so much space on my hard disk?

WinDirStat is a free open source disk usage statistics viewer and cleanup tool for Microsoft Windows.

On start up, it reads the whole directory tree once and then presents it in three useful views:

•    The directory list, which resembles the tree view of the Windows Explorer but is sorted by file/subtree size,

•    The treemap, which shows the whole contents of the directory tree straight away,

•    The extension list, which serves as a legend and shows statistics about the file types.

The treemap represents each file as a colored rectangle, the area of which is proportional to the file’s size. The rectangles are arranged in such a way, that directories again make up rectangles, which contain all their files and subdirectories. So their area is proportional to the size of the subtrees. The color of a rectangle indicates the type of the file, as shown in the extension list. The cushion shading additionally brings out the directory structure.
