Far less sophisticated, but a quick and easy hack for a recursive text dump of a directory and files:

Dump file and directory lists to text files
Need a complete list of files and directories from Windows? Don't feel like typing them manually? Here's the answer...
The following is a batch file that runs under command.exe or cmd.exe, depending upon whether you are using Windows 9x/Me or Windows NT/2000/XP/2003. Copy the file contents then save it in your SendTo directory as getDirListing.bat. In Windows NT/2000/XP/2003 the SendTo directory is in <DRIVE>:\Documents and Settings\<YOUR WINDOWS LOGIN>\SendTo.

It goes in the "Send to" menu in your context menu.
But like I said, far less sophisticated. The only real benefit is that it is fast, easy, and you don't need to bother opening any software for it.

You'd need a separate batch file for each case and change the dir command in each:
@dir %1 /A-shd /S /on /b > c:\dirListing.txt ** For sorted by Name with no Folders or System/Hidden files
@dir %1 /A-shd /S /od /tc /b > c:\dirListing.txt ** For sorted by Creation Date with no Folders or System/Hidden
@dir %1 /A-shd /S /od /tw /b > c:\dirListing.txt ** For sorted by Last Written, (Modified), with no Folders or System/Hidden
Use /o-n or /o-d to reverse the sort order.

I never sort as the default is fine for what I need, but thanks for that! :Thmbsup:
I can't filter ?
I have too many hard drives and some 2 Tb.

You just right-click on a folder, so you don't need to do EVERYTHING. Cripes... that would take forever... :(

It's a bit dated now. :( Likely doesn't work as well as when I wrote it.

I screwed up, it's /A-s-h-d to exclude System/Hidden/Directories - I forgot you had to neg each one. :-[

I was actually writing something to do this but found I didn't need to:
SMF by Kafu
It has excessive search filter capabilities and a SQLite driven result reporting tool, with which you can sub-filter the results according to your needs.

It's fast and it does indeed have excessive filtering - a universe ahead of anything I could have written :)
Create a file list from multiple folders
1. Select your directories
2. Specify any filename filtering and check the Attributes, Date Created/Modified.
3. Click Pre-filter files.
4. Uncheck System, Hidden, Directory, etc.

6. Click Show report and again on the next window.

@4wd: Thanks for the link - looks like an interesting find in its own right, as well as being a possible solution to the problem posed by @Contro. :Thmbsup:
Downloading it now...
EDIT 2012-07-25 2219hrs: I took a look around that website - http://funk.eu/.
Very interesting software and other stuff - e.g., on the blog, a link to this superb trick cyclist video:
