Since you wanted multiple folders, try this in a DOS window:

  TREE /f > filename.txt

This displays the full directory structure (from current directory down).
The /f switch includes filenames in the display.

The only drawback is that--at least in DOS 6.22 (Windows 95)--names are displayed in the "8.3" format, yielding names like "PROGRA~1" for the "Program Files" directory.
