Directory tree

[Guest]

How do I display and print a complete directory tree with expanded folders
and showing each file. Just trying to get better organized for 2005.

Ok, Here's what you do. Go to start, run, type in cmd. Then type format c:
ad you're ready to go. Hope this helped.

I'm not very technical but how does formatting the C: drive give me a list of
the files on my drive?

basically he`s being a smartass, saying if you format your C drive, then
there is nothing to organize, all your problems are fixed. Just wish we
could block those types of people, unfortunately there are those out there
that would try to that, fortunately, Windows won`t let you do that.

Good for you, Tim, it doesn't. Ignore Carch or any other name under which
you see such advice.

You can print a directory tree with a command line, see the following:

However, my guess is you'd prefer a simple way of achieving this and there
are several free utilities that can handle this, just do a search on Google.
Many of them will print and display the full tree with all nested folders.

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to the
desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir > lpt1," just as
you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR command (type
"dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to modify the
output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text file using
NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.

Alternatively:

To print the directory structure, substitute the "Tree" command for the
"Dir" command. "Tree" doesn't have quite as many options (type "Tree
/?") as "Dir," but you may find it useful.

One of the free utilities is..........

I use PF 1.2 and find it to be more than adequate with custom features.
