Recreate folders structure

1

I am using program called "Advanced File Organizer" to catalog my folders, It just create a structure copy of folders with names, sizes and types. That is great, But I want to recreate this structure into real folders and files, for sure I don't want real content or real files I just want the structure. The program could export structure to xml and xls Is there any solution to create real structure from exported files?

Can you show us an excerpt of your XML? Maybe 20-30 lines. Excel+VBA+Shell command can do what you want. Just give me a sneak peak at your XML

You don't specify whether this catalog gathers information from a single drive or folder, or whether it's from multiple drives or network shares.

If your information is from a single drive or folder, Windows does come with a command that can mirror a folder structure. Open up a command prompt and type:

xcopy <original drive/folder> <new location (drive  or folder)> /T /E

Example 1: xcopy c:\users\joeuser d:\ /T /E

Example 2: xcopy c:\users\joeuser c:\backup /T /E

You can get more information by typing xcopy /?.
