YourDir for Windows

Used YourDir for Windows?

Editors’ Review

Download.com staffNovember 8, 2008

With the ability to display and print all the subdirectories and files in a folder's many levels, YourDir expands on Windows' Explorer feature. The tiny application looks a bit amateurish, and its bare-bones interface can initially be confusing, but for the most part it functions smoothly. File lists and full directory trees can be printed, saved as JPEG or BMP files, or exported in CSV format. A few quirks can cause new users to stumble, including one feature that asks for a top limit on the number of files or folders displayed, then stops the search if more are found. Despite this and a few other head-scratchers, the free download does its basic job well.

Pros
Prints directories and subdirectories with the option of printing the files they contain. You have the option of printing to a printer, an image file, or exporting as a csv. It is simple, and easy to understand.
Cons
There is no help, per se, beyond the floaty tooltips. There are two fields that need to be filled in with numbers, and I guessed that one was minimum number of items to return, and the other was maximum. Wouldn't swear to it,though.
Summary
Yay! Every other tool I'd found automatically printed out the file listing too, which is just what I did not want. Beyond the two mysterious numerical fields, I found this interface to be perfect - very simple with nothing extraneous. I love that the utility prints out lines of relationship between all the different levels of directories. I highly recommend this utility - YourDir rocks!
Flawless performance

Pros
Self-contained application, no install required. Simple interface. Perfect for printing a directory tree including filenames.
Cons
None thus far.
Summary
Does everything I want/need in a directory tree print utility.
Decent and ----> ALSO WORKS WITH VISTA
GATOR-HATERNovember 27, 2008
Pros
Does just what it says it will do,and does it NOW. Also color coding folders green (as opposed to files) is a neat idea. And last, but certainly not least, the price is right.
Cons
No complaints.
Summary
Decent little program. Very fast. Probably of more help to the beginner/novice but it does what it says it will do. That's something I can't say for all freeware.
Perfect, Exactly what I needed

Pros
Cons
Caused an exception error when I tried to run it on Windows Server 2003, so it was of no use (but then the blurb never said it would run on WS2003).

Good, Simple Directory Tree That's Printable

Pros
A near-perfect little utility
Cons

Does Exactly What it Says It Will Do and Very Easy to Use
August 24, 2007
Pros
It's very basic, and when you have the specific task which this little gem is designed to perform, that's a big plus. The other big plus is the price tag - a whopping $0
Cons
It took me only one try to figure out that I was allowing the default limit of 1000 files shown to constrain my results. After I expanded it, there was no problem. However, it would be nice if that little feature had a much larger default.
Summary
Nice Directory printing utility
wzacchignaJuly 31, 2007
Pros
Provides a simple to use directory extract and printing utility. It does not do a lot but what it does, it does do well. Plus it's truly free (not free to try under the disguise of free).
Cons
