Map of a drive's file structure?

[Andy100]

Hi,

I've been asked by my boss to come up with a more logical file structure for all the information we keep on our networked drive.

Now the first step in me doing this is to map out exactly how it's laid out now.

Is there an easy way I can get some kind of text file or excel file with each folder and subfolder on a drive listed?

Please tell me I'm not going to have to sit here clicking though each folder to see what other folders are in it.

Cheers

jdiskreport

just what your boss is after, with nice graphs and pie charts for him too

freeware


install java first, get it here for quick install! http://www.ryanvm.net/msfn/

download the Java exe, then double click it once to install, then run your jdiskreport tool

Blimey I wish I hadn't gotten myself involved in this now.

15,000 folders full of stuff i have to find new homes for.

Nice tool that, sort of thing I was looking for as well. Cheers

sequoia view might be worth a look to, its different to jdiskreport, displays files in blocks larger file are in larger blocks, but its useful nonetheless

Tree c: /F > C:\folderlist.txt

doing this in a command prompt, replacing C: with whichever drive your wanting gives you something similar to this:

├───Visual Studio Projects
│ ├───Derek

│ │ │ Derek.csproj

Good old DOS pipes. How I miss the CLI.

Although you need the /a operator. It gives you a better formatting for .txt ouputs.

tree Crogram Files /a /f > C:\mylist.txt

Gives

C:\PROGRAM FILES
+---Acronis
| +---Acronis Disk Director
| | AutoPartNt.exe
| | bootmenu_logo.png
