    I need someway to record all my file structure in a particular drive. Perhaps the software could produce some sort of notepad file with the following: D:\SampleFolder\Folder1\file.doc
    and repeat it for every file?

    Open a command prompt (cmd.exe), cd to the drive/directory you want, run

    dir /b /s > "%USERPROFILE%\Desktop\output.txt"

    wow. thank a lot. that was very easy.

    one more question - do you know if it's possible to include other attributes such as folder size in the output file?
