Open a command prompt. Change directory with the cd command to get into the directory you want to read. Then type this command.
dir /a >c:\dirlist.txt
The "dir" command will read the current directory.
the "/a" tells "dir" to read all files in the folder, even hidden or system files.
Then the ">" (greater-than sign) tells "dir" to redirect its output to the filename following.
"dirlist.txt" is the name of the file that will receive the directory listing.
I use this simple technique often to get a listing of files in some folder or another.
[If using the CD command to change to a specific directory is not to your liking, you can just insert the path to the subject folder in the command line, like this:
dir /a "C:\Program Files\xorb\" > C:\dirlist.txt
This will list all the files in the \xorb\ folder.]
dir /a >c:\dirlist.txt
