Need to create index to folders and files

I have gone to the trouble of creating, collecting, organizing, and
renaming many items from some 4 family generations so far. They
consist of .jpg pictures, .pdf, .txt, & .doc records, even .mp4
clips. I have re-named them by year and content. For example -
Y1941-JOE SMITH FAM, Y1951-SAM JONES FAM TRIP TO COLO, Y1942- JOHN
CAMRY DIARY, etc. They are stored in folders, by year, and are stored
on hard drive, backed up on a memory stick.

Now then, I want to create an index to all this, showing folder names
by year, and file names therein. Windows Explorer seems only to show
single folder names with file names therein.
I want to show them all, and want to print same. This could also be
useful to show anything I may have missed oe duplicated.

Anyone suggest a program I can download to do this - preferably free?
Should be runnable in W7 aand W10.
Thank you

How about opening a command shell and running:

tree {drive:}\{folder} /f /a filelist.txt & notepad filelist.txt

Add a path before filelist.txt if you want to store the file somewhere
other than in the current/working folder. The "& notepad filelist.txt"
is optional: only add it if you want to immediately view the tree list.

For more info about the tree command, run "tree /?".

AS I understand what you want is a list of all folders and file. You
can accomplish this by going to the top directory of you folders, and
then using Notepad Create this batch file.

index.Bat (File name must have the extension bat)

Dir *.* /s /-n Test.txt

save the file, and then click on the index.Bat icon to run the batch file.

You can then edit the directory informaiton by opening the test.txt in
any word processor or spreadsheet. The names Index and text can be
anything.

There are many switchs that can be applied to this command.

They can be accessed by going to Run typing in DIR /? This will list
all of the switches that can be used with the command. Information on
any batch file commmand can be seen using the /?

If you like DOS-ish in console mode then the other posts
might provide a good method. The folowing code is VBScript.
It does a recursive listing and writes it to a TXT file. Just
paste the code in Notepad, save it as a .VBS file, then drop
the parent folder on the VBS file.
It could be made more efficient, but this will work pretty
well. It just might take a few minutes if you have numerous
GBs of files. It took about 5 seconds to process my 2.3 GB
Program Files folder.
The code can be easily edited to also include file dates, sizes,
etc. if you want something like that. As written, it just prints
the folder tree, listing all files in each folder by name, indented
slightly for readability.

'- begin code-------

Dim FSO, arg, sPath, sDate, s, TS, A1()
Set FSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

On Error Resume Next
If WScript.Arguments.count 0 Then
sPath = WScript.Arguments.item(0)
Else
sPath = InputBox("Enter Path of folder", "File Lister")
End If

If sPath = "" Then WScript.Quit
If FSO.FolderExists(sPath) = False Then
MsgBox "Not a valid folder path.", 64

Can we have some *exact text* from the error message ?

*******

I would make sure I have more than one copy of the critical
data, and would not rely on a single USB flash drive as
my only backup.

Maybe the hard drive on that machine is going bad or something.

My failu


NSIS Error
Installer integrity chek has failed. Common causes include incomplete
download and damaged media. Contact the installer's author to obtain
a new copy. More information at: //nsis.sf.net/NSIS_Error
(I tried another download)

While I installed and used this app fine on my one W10 PC, I have
tried two additional install downloads of ptdirprn-setup.exe
on W7 and W10 on a separate multiboot PC, and get the same failure.
Suggests something wrong on that PC I would guess.

I went to:
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/mediawik...&redirec t=no

wherein there are a boat-load of suggestions including:

Clear your browser's cache.
Disable any download accelerators or managers and download the
installer again.
Rename the installer so it is a simple one-word name with no special
characters (without removing the .exe suffix)
Example: install.exe
Download the installer from another source approved by the software
developer or publisher.
It might be corrupted on the server, or the connection to the server
is unreliable from your location.
Update your anti-virus software (if installed) and download the
installer again.
Disable your anti-virus software and download the installer again.
Download the installer using another computer and copy it to the
original computer.
If you have the nVidia firewall installed, uninstall the program and
download the installer again.
Scan for, and remove malware and viruses on your system.
Scan the hard drive using scandisk, chkdsk, or any other hard drive
repair tool.
For people of ROMANIA who use FireFox in Romanian language try this
tutorial:
http://www.tutorialepc.ro/nsis-error...roblema-2.html
Wait for Windows Update to finish updating drivers.

I am in the middle of trying them so far to no avail.

I have never seen this error before.

NSIS = Nullsoft Scriptable Install System (freeware)

Karen used Nullsoft for her installer program; see:

https://sourceforge.net/projects/nsis/
http://nsis.sourceforge.net/Main_Page

Her site's product/download page says "Updated November 5, 2009". Well,
that's about 7-1/2 years ago. Windows 7 was released more than 3 months
BEFORE that on July, 22, 2009.

If you go to her home page (https://karenware.com/) and try to visit her
freeware page (https://karenware.com/powertools/powertools), you get
"404 page cannot be found". The product page still exists but
navigation to it from her home page is broken.

https://karenware.com/compatibility

That lists a table of which of her programs are compatible with which
versions of Windows. However, since the last update to her directory
printer tool was months before Windows 7 got released, any compatibility
with any OS after Windows Vista happens to be coincidental: might run on
later versions but not really tested or supported.

Since she is using Nullsoft as her installer, could be there is a
problem with the old version of Nullsoft used in her pre-Windows 7
version of her directory printer. There are newer versions of NSIS, and
released after the release of Windows 7, but you're stuck with the
version of NSIS that Karen used back in 2009. She hasn't keep her tools
up to date. They're orphaned. Probably the only reason she keeps her
web site going is that she still gets sales of t-shirts and coffee mugs
which is probably enough to pay for her domain's yearly renewal at
TuCows and the webhosting service at syihosting.com, Karen is in Broken
Arrow, OK and Joe Winnet aka syihosting is 100 miles away in Shawnee,
OK. Joe (doesn't look like he operates a real webhosting service) has
his own software tools and looks to have his own web server that Karen
gets to share.

http://www.softpedia.com/get/System/...-Printer.shtml

That's another source for her file. You didn't say where else you
tried. I downloaded a copy from Karen's site and from Softpedia and
then did a binary file compare ("fc /b file1 file2"). The files differ
by 2 bytes (or maybe it's just 1 byte and fc is showing the before and
after values for the same byte).

I'm not sure how you would slide in a newer version of Nullsoft's
installer for her download to use instead of the old one bundled in the
download. Doesn't look like the installer is delivered as an archive
where the .exe is the wrapper to then run the installer program and also
contains separate files for the scripts and bundled files. For a
developer, there is probably a means of importing the scripts into a
newer version of the NSIS installer program. I didn't see a means of
extracting the scripts from a compiled .exe, though, so you could take
the developer's role to use those scripts in a newer version of NSIS.
They have a user forum where you could ask; see:

http://forums.winamp.com/forumdisplay.php?s=&forumid=65

You might want to find something that was released [long] after Windows
7 got released (and also updated after Windows 10 got released) or, at
least, updated to use a newer version of NSIS that supports Windows 7.
