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.

tree /f /a

About

The Windows command tree /f /a produces a tree of the current folder and all files & folders contained within it in ASCII format.

The output can be redirected to a text file using the > parameter.

Method

For Windows 8.1 or Windows 10, follow these steps:

  1. Navigate into the folder in file explorer.
  2. Press Shift, right-click mouse, and select "Open command window here".
  3. Type tree /f /a > tree.txt and press Enter.
  4. Open the new tree.txt file in your favourite text editor/viewer.

Note: Windows 7, Vista, XP and earlier users can type cmd in the run command box in the start menu for a command window.

I recommend WinDirStat.

I frequently use WinDirStat to create screen shots for user documentation of open folders and their contents.

It even uses the correct icons for Windows registered file types.

All I would say is missing is an option to display the files without their icons. I can live without it personally, since I am usually pasting the image into a paint program or Visio to edit it, but it would still be a useful feature.

If it is just viewing in tree view,One workaround is to use the Explorer in Notepad++ or any other tools.

You can use Internet Explorer to browse folders and files together in tree. It is a file explorer in Favorites Window. You just need replace "favorites folder" to folder which you want see as a root folder

TreeSize professional has what you want. but it focus on the sizes of folders and files.
