Documenting your directory structure provides insight about how your applications and server drives are built and where key components reside. Use the ActiveX Data Objects (ADO)-based VBScript application BuildDirTreeReport.vbs to create a directory tree report called DirTree.HTA that writes to a Microsoft Excel spreadsheet.

For a while now I've been toying with the idea of writing an easy-to-use, no-cost application for producing directory tree structure reports for applications and servers. Directory structure documentation can give you insight about how an application or server drive is built and where key components reside, as well as provide a convenient way for you to designate folders' importance. In a sense, an application or server's directory tree is like a report outline that you can use as a valuable resource if you need to analyze a network problem, develop maintenance scripts, or support an application. . . .
