What do you want? The DOS directory listing? A snapshot of
explorer? Do you want to print it? Capture it in a text
file? Capture it as a picture?

In short, what's your real problem?

To capture a DOS directory listing in a text file,
in a DOS box type DIR A:, then
copy the screen to the clipboard and paste it into
a text file in Notepad or some such. To copy to
the clipboard, right click the title bar, choose Edit then
Mark. Drag the copy area with the mouse and hit enter.
That copies to the clip board. Then open notepad and
paste into text window.

For a printed listing, in the DOS box (excuse me, at the
command prompt window), type

DIR A:\ >LPT1

This directs the output of DIR to LPT1. This may leave the
printer in a funny state because there won't be an end-of-page,
so print something trivial from Windows afterward. I'm sure
there's a way to force the page, but I don't know it.
