Could someone please tell me if it is possible to prepare a list of all the
files residing in 'my documents' along with the directory structure?

if not, then is there any freeware/shareware available to do that?

thanks.

Hi Asif

Go to a command promt and change to the My Documents folder. Then type the
following:

dir /a/s > mydoc.txt

The text file can be called any name you like. The text file will be in the
My Documents folder, which can then be viewed in Notepad.
 
Hi Asif,

Open a command prompt (start/run cmd), go to the folder of choice.

Run "dir> file.txt". This will create a text file of the contents of the
folder that you can open in notepad for printing or saving.

If you wish to add the contents of the subdirectories, run "dir
<drive><folder> /s> file.txt".
