I tend to use the following free bit of software:

goto a command prompt (Start->run->cmd)

type :
cd\
dir *. /s /a >DirectoryTree.txt

open up the file in wordpad/notepad.

done!

I allways use the following so I can suck it into Excel.

goto a command prompt (Start->run->cmd)

dir /s /b /ad>c:\DirectoryTree.txt

for remote server

dir \\SERVER\c$ /s /b /ad>C:\SERVERFOLDERS.TXT

Did a multi server migration with 40,000+ folders that way.

Depending on what you hope to do with it, I would either use any of the suggestions above or vbscript or if you want to know permissions on the folders too use XCACLS.

I hope you find this post helpful.

Regards,

Mark

Agree that 'JR Directory Printer' is interesting

IMVHO more useful is use DIRLIST.BAT from
'FilePath' in file context menu
and
'FlieList' in folder context menu

DIRLIST.BAT file
echo off
rem file://C:\WINDOWS\system32\DIRLIST.BAT
dir %1 /s /-p /o:gn /b > "%temp%\Ltd{$%date:~8,2%%date:~10,4%}"
start /w edxor.exe "%temp%\Ltd{$%date:~8,2%%date:~10,4%}"
del "%temp%\Ltd{$%date:~8,2%%date:~10,4%}"
echo on

BTW metapad & edxor are used as notepad repleacement

so both mentioned registry settings

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\CMD1]
@="FilePath"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\Shell\CMD1\Command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\system32\\DIRLIST.BAT \"%1\""

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\FileList]
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\FileList\command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\SYSTEM32\\DIRLIST.BAT \"%1\

The good old DOS command TREE /F > file will provide a "semi-graphical" version of the output. Hope this helps.
