One of my favorite utilities, TreePrint from PC Magazine, failed to behave correctly under Windows 7. TreePrint is a handy utility that attaches itself to Windows Explorer, and allows you to print or list a directory's contents, or allows you to save your results to a plain text file. I believe it was released way back in 1995. I use the utility as a tool to make lists of my mp3 files. PC Magazine / ZD wants $7.95 now for the file which used to be free.
Search Google for treeprt.zip.
Win 7 (and most probably Vista Business / Enterprise / Ultimate) killed some functionality of treeprint by not allowing the program permission to change / set the .ini file. This rendered the program useless unless you used the default settings. Unlikely.
To fix this:
Change the permissions to "everyone", "full control" of the following file after installing TreePrint:
c:\windows\treeprint.ini
Bazinga!

I tried to change permissions as suggested but when right-clicking and selecting treeprint, I keep getting a message saying that "Another copy of Treeprint is writing to the specified file" and to wait for it to finish.
ReplyDeleteSuggestions (because I really need this program to work in Windows 7)?
Thanks!
Hi, I've downloaded this program and installed it under Win7 by "right clicking", install as administrator.
ReplyDeleteIt works without any problem.
