...to make a list of files into a text file? I am finding myself needing to do this more and more it seems, but it is SO tedious. I need an easier, quicker way to do this.

gimme a couple of minutes and I'll bash out a visual guide for you
EDIT Looks like ow_tiobe_sb beat me to it... that site he links to has the same general method that I use.
Yeah, I was gonna say there used to be a DOS command for it.
I hope I'm not the only one who remembers DOS...

I still use DOS from time to time (it's a neat utility when doing diagnostics/minor fixes on PCs).
That seems like it will work ok for my purposes. Thanks! Much typing will be saved.
To make this stuff even easier, I find I get good mileage out of the "Open Command Window Here" utility for the Windows explorer. Basically, when you are looking at a bunch of stuff in folder, if you right-click on any folder, an option to "Open Command Window Here" appears. That lets you open a command prompt (to dir > dir.txt or whatever) in that sub-folder without all the CDing around.
