TweakUI is a MS product.

Almost NOTHING important is "easily done" in "normal" Windows.
That's why you need dozens of 3rd party apps to be able to use a
Windows machine at all, starting with a real file manager and
text editor.

(Although as I said, Tweak UI happens to be {a fairly useful}
Microsoft product which somehow slipped by.)

Can you print a directory's contents from a "normal" Windows
machine?

Right. And you never will, either.
