The utility comes in handy for cataloging your music, movie or photo collections, or if you're preparing for reinstalling Windows, for example.

No installation required

The entire program's packed in a single .exe file that you can copy to any part of the disk or to a removable storage device to directly run Directory Listing on any PC without previous setup. It doesn't need DLLs to run, create files on the disk without asking for your permission, or make changes to the Windows registry. It remembers your configuration settings on exit.

Plain and simple interface

As far as the interface is concerned, it opts for a normal window with a well-structured layout, where you can select a directory to view its containing folders in the main window, as well as save the list to file by indicating the output folder and filename.

Configure listing options

When it comes to customization settings, you can save the folders with or without paths, include or exclude subdirectories and system folders, as well as enable or disable recursive mode. Just keep in mind that your options are taken into account for the listing as long as you select them before picking a directory.
