I didn't much like it when it just sent everything straight to the printer, but I found, in the comments, how to output to Notepad, and that is just perfect. Much gratitude to everyone involved.

It shows up as a drive, but won't let me print the directory. Either there is no "Send To" shown when I right-click or I'm told I don;t have administrative rights (it's my home computer and no one else uses it). Any suggestions? Thanks?
