Windows only: Pir is a lightweight Windows application that creates text lists of folders and directories for exporting — handy for quickly sending a friend lists of your music collection or ripped movies.
The small application, which requires no installation, is a quick solution for providing others to the contents of your folders or saving a list of folders for some other reason. If you’ve got friends asking what’s in your massive media collection, instead of providing a cumbersome explanation, Pir makes it simple.
The program exports lists to RTF, TXT and CSV format. Pir is a free program for Windows only.

then open file.txt
try the switches /s and/or /b on the dir command to include subdirectories or use a “bare” format without dates etc.
e.g. “dir /b/s > file.txt”

tree /f /a > output.txt
This will shoot out an ascii representation of the files and folders in a given location in a pretty text file :)
It’s worth noting that tree is Windows Vista and above :)
