I'd like to be able to get a list of all the folders contained in another
folder into another program, say Excel. I found an Excel macro that will
list all the files in a given folder, but it does not list the folders in
that folder. Alternatively, a print-out of the folders would be better than
nothing, although I'm looking for something better than screen shots, for
which I'll need numerous shots to print everything (ex. 200 folders).

I used to have a program that would print "complete" directory contents in
a simple, straightforward way. It was called "Karen's directory printer"
or something very close to that. Try "SoftPedia.com" and do a search for
"Karen's". Should find it, if it's there.

Hope this helps,


Fred

Fred - thank you! I found Karen's Directory Printer, downloaded and
installed it. There are many options and I haven't explored them all yet,
but I'm sure it will do what I need, and then some. Thank you very much!

If you want the listing in text so you can loadandmanipulate it in excel
try;

dir /ad /s /b > c:\dir.txt
