Make "User and File Information" Printable

By clicking Help, and CTRL-About Quicken you can get some useful info re: your UserID, File and System Resources.

BUT, by clicking on "More Info" in the lower right of that dialog, you get several pages of detail info about your Q and your system.

SO, this idea is to provide some easy way to make that "User and File Information" printable.

There's currently no Print icon anywhere in that dialog, and the customary CTRL-P doesn't work.

    Wow! Voted. Such a simple logical feature that is missing. Thank you @NotACPA

    Not related to this, but I would even suggest that these hidden CTRL+[click something] should be eliminated in favor of displaying a sub-item. Such that any user can find the options without knowing the hidden/secret CTRL menus.

    Totally agree along other “hidden” commands.

    I also voted for it, just to nudge it one step further through the "valley of death" into the great hopper of potentially actionable ideas that got their 50 votes. My additional 2+ cents worth:

    1. Visibility and Accessibility - Totally agree with making this, and all other "hidden" commands fully visible, and actually findable in an actual full-fledged documentation for this amazing software that we community members are all licensing.
    2. Just Printable ? - Beyond just printing, this information should be "one-click" downloadable into either a CSV file (preferred) or a TXT file. I need the ability to analyze the information contained within, and I'm not dealing with paper, unless there is no other option. You may notice that the section of this hidden data contains an Account List, similar to the "Account List" but in some ways more useful, and it has columns that are sortable with the headers like an Excel table. Just make the data accessible, and most users inclined to do something with it will figure out how to work with it.
    3. Perhaps Just Go a Bit Further ? - Upon closer inspection of the subject information, it really is mostly a very useful overview of "User Data", the "User's Datafile", and the "User's Operating environment", and nothing in particular "about Quicken" itself. With that, why not simply add a visible (not hidden, that is) button under the Help menu entitled something like it really is, such as User Data Overview ? The name is not that important, just that it's visible and accessible.
