I'm reorg-ing some existing huge tree structures--any tips on shortcuts? Any
shortcuts for opening up a whole tree and all subfolder contents and then
printing? Is there a quick way to print a complete folder structure/tree? I
work remotely with a hi-speed connection but a slow server at the
receiving/sending end and opening each file folder so I can see the whole
tree and it's contents takes excruciatingly long. Also, after you do print
screen to capture the picture of the file tree, does it automatically go the
printer or do you have to do something? Having problems with that, too.
Thanks!
 
Use the tree command. Type tree /? in a command prompt for options. Tree
does not accept a path, so first CD to the starting directory you want. If
is best to print to a file and then print that file using Notepad or other
editor.

For example C:\>tree /f>myfile.txt

From the command prompt (Start > Run > Cmd.exe), simply change to
the desired directory and type "dir > filelist.txt" or "dir > lpt1,"
just as you used to do in DOS. Any of the switches for the DIR command
(type "dir /?") will work with this command, if you wish to modify the
output. You can then subsequently edit the resulting text file using
NotePad, WordPad, Word, etc.

Alternatively:

To print the directory structure, substitute the "Tree" command for
the "Dir" command. "Tree" doesn't have quite as many options (type
"Tree /?") as "Dir," but you may find it useful.
