How to create a report showing folder Last updated July 2, 2024

structure and files in a folder Views 18,747

Good morning, Applies to:


I have a requirement to produce a report (could be a PDF, Word doc or XLS) that shows all the
folders/sub-folders below a given folder in Windows Explorer, so we can see the folder structure Windows / Windows 10 /
and analyze it. We also need a second report with the same criteria but also listing out all the files Files, folders, and storage
inside each folder. There are thousands of files under each folder so it will be large report. I have
done something similar using the File System object model in VB before, but am wondering if
there is a simple off-the-shelf tool or command we can use instead. You’re invited to

Hi Paul

Open File Explorer and navigate to that folder

In the address bar, just type cmd and hit Enter

That will open a Commend Prompt in that folder

Paste this into Command Prompt and hit Enter

dir /s/b > AAA.txt

Wait for that command to complete

That will have created a new text file in that folder - AAA.txt that will contain a listing
of all files in that folder, including all sub-folders, which you can copy/paste into Word,
Excel . . . etc.

If you just want to list files in a specific folder and not sub-folders, open a Command
Prompt in that folder and run this command:

dir /b > AAA.txt
