Technology Need To Index My Folders...

#2
You just want a list of folders and sub folders in a directory, written out in a text file?

You can do that through a simple command prompt. Or, you can be lazy and use Karen's Directory Printer; I'm not sure how well that works.

Start
Run...
Type cmd or command and hit Enter
Type in the letter of the drive, i.e. c:, d: and hit Enter
Type in cd\ and hit Enter to get to the root of the drive
Type in cd followed by a space, followed by the address of the directory.

For example, if you want a list of files in C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents, then you would type:

c:
cd\
cd Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
And then hit Enter

Type dir > (or dir/s > if you want the subfolders to be listed) followed by a space, followed by the name of the text file you want to create.

Continuing the example above, you would type:

c:
cd\
cd Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents
dir/s > listoffiles.txt
Hit enter, and the text file will be created. It will list the files (and, if you've used the /s command, subfolders) in the folder you've chosen. You can find the text file in the directory you're listing, in the above case it would be C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Documents\listoffiles.txt

You'll need to clean it up a little.
