In the Windows command prompt you can use “tree /F” to view a tree of the current folder and all descending files & folders.
In File Explorer under Windows 8.1:
- Select folder
- Press Shift, right-click mouse, and select “Open command window here”
- Type
tree /f > tree.txt
and press Enter - Use MS Word to open “tree.txt”
- The dialog box “File Conversion – tree.txt” will open
- For “Text encoding” tick the “MS-DOS” option
You now have an editable tree structure file.
This works for versions of Windows from Windows XP to Windows 8.1.
