We forget after not using the command prompt for so long, just how helpful it can be.  Of course, the Linux platform offers more opportunities with the tools available from the SHELL, but the Windows command prompt is not without some helpful tricks.

To create a file map Including Directories

dir /S /B > output.txt

To create a file map EXcluding Directories

dir /S /B /A-D > output.txt
