Windows: The tree command

The tree command graphically displays the directory structure of a drive or path on the command line prompt — nice gimmick; haven’t used this in ages and completely forgot about it, but came in handy recently.

TREE \[drive:\]\[path\] \[/F\] \[/A\]

Parameter	Description
`/F`	Displays the names of the files in each directory.
`/A`	Uses ASCII instead of extended characters.

Output/Example

C:\xyz>tree /f /a
C:.
