Open the Command Line Interface (run/cmd), navigate to the folder and type "dir >filelist.txt"
To see the text format options for the DIR command just type "dir /?". All without quotes.

If you are under Vista or Win7 there is a way to do it without console:
1. Go to the needed folder
2. Select all content (CTRL + A) or just items you are interested in
3. Hold SHIFT and Right Click on any selected folder
4. In context menu select "Copy as Path"
5. Open Notepad, paste data and save file
By this method there will be path info, not just filenames
"G:\Impulse Archives"
"G:\Share Folder"
"G:\Vista"
"G:\VMWare VMs"
"G:\XP"
"G:\DOSBox"
but it's easy to fix by doing a simple Replace All, replacing path info with nothing.

It's used to make a folder file listing. You should try, it cleanses the soul.
