Tree view of a directory/folder in Windows?

Question

In Linux/KDE, I can see a directory as a tree. How can I do it in Windows 7?

Consider I do NOT mean "Windows Explorer". This just shows the directories, I also want the files.

Answer 1

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.
