How can I print a list of files in a folder without printing the document?

There is a vbs script at my web site. Just drop any directory on it and all
id information will be placed in a tab delimited file. Just open it in any
spreadsheet and sort and format. Edit the script to change the path to the
output file (it will create it) before using it.

I seem to be unable to open the vbs file. I get an error message when I try
to run it with "Windows Script Host" at the top, and the final line at the
bottom is "Microsoft VBScript runtime error." I have no idea what to do.
Also, I'm not sure what you mean by the following: "Just drop any directory

You should be able to right click on the script icon and select "edit".
After modifying the "output file name" and saving it you can use it. Click
and drag the folder containing the files to the script icon and release it.
A file will be created (the one that you renamed). This file contains a tab
delimited file containing everything you would want to know about the files
within the folder. Edit it with any spreadsheet program. Do not try to run
the script by clicking it. You must drop a folder on it.
