Filed under: — Aviran Mordo

A report that Cnet Networks, owner of several popular technology Web sites, is shopping itself to potential buyers sent the company’s shares up nearly 10 percent Thursday.

Executives from the San Francisco firm have held informal discussions with Viacom, the parent of CBS television, and Barry Diller’s InterActiveCorp, according to an article Thursday in the New York Post.

Yahoo Inc. and Time Warner, parent of America Online, might also be interested in bidding, the report says.

Tip: Print Folder’s File List From Explorer

Filed under: — Aviran Mordo

When you browse a folder in windows file explorer, you sometimes would like to print the content of that folder. Unfortunately there is no option to print a content of a folder from Windows Explorer.

You can add your own print folder (or list the folder content to a text file). In order to do that follow these steps.

1. Open My Computer
2. In the Tools menu select Folder Options
3. Click on the File Types tab
4. From the list select Folder
5. Click the Advanced button
6. Click the New button
7. In the action type 鈥淧rint鈥? (or any other description you want)
8. In the Application used to perform action type Cmd.exe /C DIR %1 > PRN
9. Click OK and close the Options window.

Now every time that you鈥檒l right click on a folder a new context menu option will appear that鈥檒l say 鈥淪end to printer鈥?. Selecting that will send the file list to the printer.

You can also send the content to a text file by changing the > PRN to > YOURFILENAME.txt

To remove the new print context menu from the folder:

1. Launch the Registry Editor (Regedit.exe).
2. Go to HKEY_CLASSES_Root\Folder\Shell key and expand the subtree.
3. Locate and right-click the print key you created and select Delete.
