You can open two copies of Windows Explorer simultaneously, one for each drive, and tile them on the screen. There are a number of third-party file managers that will show two independent folder windows, and that have a compare function. I happen to like 2xExplorer (http://netez.com/2xExplorer/), which is free. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org |

Thanks, Jay. I have been trying to figure this out for years. Your answer
fit my needs. But I couldn't figure out how to tile the the two copies of Explorer. I've also wondered for ages how to print a file list from the directory.

Tiling: You can do it the hard way, dragging the edges and corners of
the two windows, so each one occupies half the screen without overlapping. Or you can do it the easy way, by right-clicking a blank area of the taskbar and selecting Tile Windows Vertically. Printing the file list: Incredibly, Windows Explorer has never had a Print function. A couple of methods are shown at http://www.word.mvps.org/FAQs/General/PrintDocList.htm. If you use a third-party file manager like the one I mentioned, most of them can print. -- Regards, Jay Freedman Microsoft Word MVP FAQ: http://word.mvps.org On Wed, 14 Sep 2005 16:42:02 -0700, "ISkee" wrote: Thanks, Jay.
