Hi,

Open a command prompt (start/run cmd), then CD\ to the directory, run:

DIR> listing.txt

To create a text file listing the contents of the directory. Add the /s
switch to get content lists of the subdirectories.

Type dir > listing.txt /b and you'll get just the filenames without all the
other info.

Type dir > listing.txt /b /s and you'll get the paths to all the files in
that directory and all of its subdirectories.
