694185 2008-08-02 00:19:00 Hi,

What I want to achieve is to expand ALL my music folders, on my music drive partition, in a single Explorer Window & save this to any form of text file. If not any form of text file, then any form that will print as viewed on the monitor.

The reason is I am randomly burning the albums to CDR for playback on my vehicles' mp3 stereos, & I want tick the albums off so not to duplicate them on various CDs. Is there any way to do this? I would rather avoid commandline solutions. Thanks.

694186 2008-08-02 00:45:00 Go to command prompt (Start>Run>cmd>Enter)

Type cd M: (assuming M: is your music drive) and press <Enter>

Type tree > tree.rtf and press <Enter>

The directory structure will be saved as a Word doc, in M:.

Open it in Word and choose 'MS-DOS' in the window that appears, then print it.

Or use this perhaps

Tried the tree.rtf command but my version of DOS prompt did not seem to like it for some reason. Don't use Office anyway, although I assume it would have opened in OpenOffice. Thanks for response.

@feersumendjinn,

That programme was perfectly ideal. Thank you. Where do you people get these little gems of apps from?

Just curious, what keywords/phrase(s) did you use. I have tried searching for apps with Google in the past & usually ended up with pages of dribble.

Guess my searching parameters need fine-tuning :waughh:

694191 2008-08-04 07:27:00 CMD Prompt
Change to the Directory you want then type in
dir /s /o /b >C:\filelist.txt
You can vary the output by ommiting one or more of the flags. Will save a text file to C:\ drive

I use this with every CD/DVD I burn and use Search & Replace program to search the text files.

I tried jwil1's tree cmd and it barfed after about 10% of what I wanted, not so sucessful for me.

feersumendjinn's solution would be ok with just a couple of folders and a few files, but if there was numerous folders and files it would not fit on one screen dump.

There are several Windows programs about that can also achieve this. FolderTree I think is one
