In the command prompt, type this:
dir /b /s /a:d
The /b says to provide just the file name, the /s says to go down
into subdirectories, and the /a:d says to list just directories, not
regular files.
The listing will start from your current directory when you're in
the command prompt, so use CD commands first as necessary. For
instance, if you want to list every directory on your disk then
begin with
cd \
You may want to capture your list to a file, such as c:\mylist.txt:
dir /b /s /a:d >c:\mylist.txt
(You won't see any output at the command prompt, but you can open
the file in Notepad or another editor. Depending on how many
directories you have, it could take a few minutes to write the
file.)
