It's very, very easy in the Windows Command-Line Interpreter (all Windows
OSes):

Open a command prompt (Start - Run - cmd "Enter" ).
Navigate (cd) to the directory whose files you want to list.
Enter dir output_file_name (e.g., dir C:\dir.txt) and press "Enter".

Open a command prompt (Start - Run - cmd Enter) Navigate (cd) to the
directory whose files you want to list.
Enter dir output_file_name (e.g., dir C:\dir.txt) and press Enter.

I do that regularily for one specific music folder I maintain. As I burn
the backup off to disk when it reaches 2.5 Gb I also create a text file
of the contents of the disk and save that also. It's easy enough to do.
You can even easily load the text file into Word or whatever you use and
format it as you like etc.
