Hi implantsrus,
There are two ways to print the list of files in a folder. The first
method is manually enabling this feature in Windows XP. Following
these directions will give you the option when you right click any
folder:
"This describes how to add the Print Directory feature for folders in
Microsoft Windows XP. After you follow the steps that are listed in
this article, you can right-click a folder, and then click Print
Directory Listing to print a directory listing of the contents of a
folder."
-Create the Printdir.bat file-
To create the Printdir.bat file, follow these steps:
Click Start, click Run, type "notepad",(without the quotes) and then click OK:
Paste the following text into Notepad:
@echo off

start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing"
del "%temp%\Listing"
exit
On the File menu, click Exit, and then click Yes to save the changes.
In the Save As dialog box, type the following text, and then click Save:
%windir%\Printdir.bat
-Create a new action for file folders-
Click Start, click Control Panel, and then click Folder Options.
On the File Types tab, click File Folder.
Click Advanced, and then click New.
In the Action box, type: Print Directory Listing

I understand how frustrating this can be for you. I assure you I had
the same problem and after following these exact directions, it got
fixed.
I need you to start over and to please follow these directions exactly
as I am telling you.
Open Registry Editor.
Click on the plus sign of HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT to expand it.
Keep scrolling down til you get to DIRECTORY. Click on the plus sign
there to expand it.
You will see maybe three folders there, one is called SHELL.
Click on SHELL, don't expand it.
On the right you will see (Default).
Click once on DEFAULT to highlight it.
Now at the top of the window at the menu bar you will have EDIT,
(along with File, View Favorites and Help).
Open Edit, you will find MODIFY, click on it to open it.
A window called Edit String will open.
There should be two entry boxes: Value name and Value data.
In the VALUE DATA box, type in the following word : none
Click OK and close the Registry Editor.
Now open any folder. It should openly normally now.
Bill, if at some point you need help with the procedure, stop what you
have done and let me know what you have done so far.
Today I will be at my computer in case you need me. I will be checking
here constantly.
