Fully expand a directory list

Is there a way to fully expand a large directory list. I need to create a duplicate directory tree for the new year and this tree will have 100+ folders. If I could expand the current tree fully and then print it to a file I could create a script to recreate the tree for the new year. I see no easy way to do this? Any thoughts

Hi and Welcome!
From your description I understand that you want to create exact copy of a tree structure but should it be empty or have files in them?
If you want empty directory structure, then look at "Create Branches here" in help file or paste below code in XY's addressbar and you will see it:
Code: Select all
::rtfm "idh_mendd.htm#idh_menddcbh"
If you are looking to make an exact copy of your directory with files in them then use "Rich Copy", see this topic:
Hope this helps.
