Oliver:

Go to a DOS or COMMAND Prompt in the directory you
wish to write the contents to file.

Execute the following command:

    dir  /ogn  > dir-list.$$$

where:

    "/o" is the sort order switch;
    "g" is to group directories first (to delete if needed);
    "n" is to sort by name (alphabetic);
    ">" is the redirection pipe to send output to a file; and
    "dir-list.$$$" is the name of the file (current directory).

If you only want the filenames, use the bare switch:

    /b

but if you want all the file information, use the verbose switch:

    /v

You can name the output file anything you want, and
use a full pathname if needed.
