Beautiful place. You're right that there is no built-in way to print a folder listing. The PrtScn key is used to capture an image of your desktop (or Alt-PrtScn to capture just the active window). You can then open a graphics program like Paint and paste the image there. There are some ways to do it. I'll make a post about it sometime.
