Is there an easy way to get a text list of all the files in a particular directory? How about a non-easy way?

at a command prompt, navigate your way to the exact folder, and type the following:
dir >> list.txt

Print screen the directory listing out of explorer. Run OCR software and create a text file. Edit out the garbage so you have the output you want. :p
(do what djnes said, though he has an extra > in there the command "dir > file.txt" will work).
