    open a command window in the top folder and type

    DIR /B /AD > dirlist.txt

    This will give you a list of all the folders under that one.

    1. Start button
    2. Run...
    3. Type cmd.exe
    4. Click OK or press ENTER
    5. Command window opens
    6. Click in the window
    7. Type C:\ at the prompt. Hit ENTER
    8. Type CD C:\Users\Amir\Documents\Downloads\Music at the prompt. Hit ENTER
    9. Type DIR /B /AD. Hit ENTER
    10. You should see a list of the folders
    11. If you did see the list goto 12. If you did not, start again at 1
    12. Type DIR /B /AD > Dirlist.txt and hit ENTER
    13. You now have a file called Dirlist.txt in that folder
    14. Type Notepad.exe Dirlist.txt and hit ENTER
    15. View file
    16. That's it
