Mass Data Entry

My boss is asking me to list all of the subfolders within the subfolders of a parent folder. Is there anyway to list them all by both file path and name (on two separate rows) without having to list them one by one? 

 

Also is there anyway to figure out if there is a specific file within those folders because I tried searching the entire file name but the list didn't tell me which folder the files were in without opening and searching for the location of said files.

    You could do this with a few lines in a Windows command prompt.  The following will produce the output and open the results in a notepad file. You can then copy/paste to Excel:

     

    dir /s [Your Path] >List.txt
    List.txt

      Thank you, I tried but I don't have access to this program unfortunately because I don't have admin privileges.
