Is there a way I can export my file names in a given directory to a text list?
I was asked by a client to provide a video track list, and I have No desire to type over 2000 video song titles.
any help?

How to Create a File List at a Command Prompt
1. Click Start, point to Programs, and then click MS-DOS Prompt (or Command Prompt in Windows NT).
2. At a command prompt, locate the drive that contains the folder whose contents you want to list. For example, if you want to create a text file that contains a list of the contents of a folder on drive C, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
c:
3. At a command prompt, locate the folder whose contents you want to list. For example, if you want to create a text file that contains a list of the contents in the Windows folder on drive C, type the following commands at a command prompt, and press ENTER after you type each command:
cd\
cd windows
4. Type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER, where filename is the name of the text file that you are creating:
dir > filename.txt
For example, if you want to create a file named Windowsfolderlist.txt, type the following command at a command prompt, and then press ENTER:
dir > windowsfolderlist.txt
NOTE: The text file that you create is located in the folder that you are in when you follow these steps. In the earlier example, the Windowsfolderlist.txt file is located in the Windows folder.
5. Use a text editor, such as Notepad, to view or print this file.
NOTE: You cannot export or print a list of the files that are contained in a folder in Windows Explorer.

If you're running Vista, browse into the folder you wish to list and then hold the Shift key. Whilst doing so, rightclick near (but not on) a file and choose Open Command Window Here. This is a shortcut to bring up the Command Prompt.
What scottco has said is good advice but if you want a more human readable list, use the following command:
dir /on /b > list.txt

I have been using a free simple utlity called "Ninotech path copy" for a few years now to make my karaoke books, etc....
Once downloaded and installed, just open the folder you want the text from do a Ctrl + A to highlight everything in that folder or just highlight the items you want. Then right click on a highlighted file - choose copy path- copy long path and then paste it to notepad or xl or word, etc. Do a find replace to remove for eg .cdg, .mp3 and voila you have a complete list in 1 minute without going to DOS or whatever and it's free and doesn't take any extra resources .

Much easier way: Listmaker (http://www.brothersoft.com/listmaker-525.html) No need for command prompts. You can create your list in html format. Good luck.
