Representing a directory structure recursively in treeview form is very useful as it helps in understanding the environmental setup in a better way. There are tools that can do it for you but here is a simple but very impressive MS-DOS command “TREE” that can do this for you. Its available in all version of Windows: 2000/XP/Vista/7.

Syntax

tree [Drive:][Path] [/f] [/a]

For example: The tree structure generated on executing the command at D:>tree /a is as follows

D:
