It seems that my office would like to reorganize the network drive to make it more "user" friendly. Does anyone know of software that will generate a tree structure of all of the folders in a given directory?

I suppose I could manually open up each and every folder, however, there may be hundreds, if not thousands of folders here. I'd like to have the hierarchy saved and be able to reference it on-demand for managers with suggestions. Any help would be most appreciated!

Thanks,
Nate

are a couple of ways to do this if you are using XP. You can use the Tree command from a dos prompt ot use the DIR command.

The Tree command displays a little different to the DIR command.
A couple of samples. Have a play.

Tree D:> C:\files.txt

Tree /f D:> C:\files.txt

dir /a /b /s D:> c:\files.txt

This doesn't look like a bad idea. I opened the document in Notepad and there were a lot of garbage characters in the file. Do you know why that is?

tree /f /a c:>te1.txt

Aparently the /a switch tells it not to produce graphic characters and to send the output to printers that do not properly interpret graphic characters.
