Batch file that will print from the context menu (right click) in explorer.

1.Open notepad and copy and paste this:

@echo off

7. In Application used to perform action, click Pdirectory.bat, and then click OK.
8. Click OK, click Apply, and then click OK.
Done… Now you will be able to right click on a directory and print out a listing!.

UPDATE: I had a problem with printing sometimes, if you get it just do a quick Reg fix:

Hive: HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT
Key: Directory\Shell
Name: Default
Data Type: REG_SZ
Value: none

Once you set the value of Default to none, at the location above, all is fine.
