then type dir *.*> C:\list.txt

replace c:\ with the drive and directory you want the file created in.

Good old DOS eh? :-)

I use a freeware utility callep Expprint (Explorer Print) whuich adds a simple right-click option to explorer. It is very basic to set up, and you can configure tab stops etc for a nice layout, and can do all the other things dos can like list alphabetically, by file size etc, exclude file types, or directories etc etc.

Search for it

Expprint (two p's)
