    There's some software that can do that. But if you don't want to use any, you can just use your command prompt. :lol:

    1. Add this one to your registry. You know how to do that, right?

    REGEDIT4
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\DosHere]
    @="Command &Prompt Here"
    [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\DosHere\command]
    @="C:\\WINNT\\System32\\cmd.exe /k cd \"%1\""
    2. Restart Computer to activate that registry change.

    3. Right Click to any folder that you want to list, and choose Command Prompt Here

    4. In command prompt mode, type something like this:
    dir > listing.txt
    5. Get your file listing in listing.txt

    Of course this is quite troublesome. In stead you can find some program out there that can do something like that.

    For example this one:
    http://www.tawbaware.com/filelist.htm

    Actually I want to make that program, but may be not now, after my exams perhaps. :D

    Instead of adding the key to your registry, you can simply navigate to the directory by using the cd command and then list the contents. XP power toys also has an add in for 'command here' which opens command prompt in the current directory. You can also use the tree command instead of the dir command to give you a tree like view of the directory.

    Cheers!
