Hi! Thought I might introduce myself. My name is Henrik and I live in Stockholm, Sweden. I own a company by the name of Reachground that creates audio for video games. Even though it's common to use MAC for audio I feel more home with Windows which I've been using since 3.1. Before that DOS...

When will Microsoft provide the feature to print a list of files from within Windows? Of course we can take multiple screenshots, or go out to DOS and use a switch, but come on.... WordPerfect was able to do this back in the early 90's. Or maybe even the lat 80's. :confused:

Until 18th Oct. Fully functional - no time limits. 64 and 32 bit installers. I have been using this for a while - works perfectly on 7 x64. It is the same build as PM10. You don't get the Adaptive restore feature, or the WinPE boot cd. You can run off the Linux /dos based cd from within...
