Hello Rico, and welcome to Seven Forums.

Using OPTION TWO in the tutorial below may work for you for this.

Context Menu - Add View and Print File Directory - Vista Forums

Hope this helps,
Shawn

Sure, from a command prompt. Enter the following, at the prompt (you will need to provide both source and destination paths):

dir source /s >> destination.txt

e.g. dir c:\ /s >> "c:\users\<username>\desktop\list.txt"

Great! thanks for the help. So Simple! . :roflmaoidn't try the 1st solution, but will try it later. Glad those old DOS commands still work!

Regarding the dir command, using it in the active directory & gives me the file list (what I want) in the active.
dir /s >> list.txt
list.txt is placed in the active dir.
Muchas Gracias!

There is a free portable program FileDir - I am using it for a long time an it still works fine.

*cough* "tree /A /F > tree.txt" also works.
