If you work a lot using your computer and you create a lot of folders, files, documents etc, I am pretty sure that at a certain point you might wish to print the content of a special folder in Windows 7. This is extremely useful, above all if such a folder contains a huge quantity of your stuff such as: documents, pictures, videos, files etc and you want to check them quickly without staying in front of your computer. Here is a simple trick which help you a lot!
- Click Start.
- In the Search field, type CMD select and do not press Enter.
- Right click the CMD icon , select Run as Administrator and press Enter.
