Unfortunately, that omits the file sizes.
Here's a little vbScript-ette that should do what John needs. Just
change the ROOTFOLDER AND LISTFILE constants as appropriate, save the
file as (say) listfiles.vbs, and run with:
wscript listfiles.vbs
Change the INCLUDEPATH constant to False if you don't want to include
the full path to each file.
Sub ParseFolder(objFolder, iLevel)
Dim objFile, strPath, strLine
strPath = objFolder.Path
bFound = False
For Each objFile In objFolder.Files
If INCLUDEPATH Then
strLine = strPath & "\"
Else
strLine = ""
End If
strLine = strLine & objFile.Name & Chr(9) & objFile.Size
fTarget.WriteLine strLine
Next
Dim objSubFolder
If Not bFound Then
For Each objSubFolder In objFolder.SubFolders
ParseFolder objSubFolder, iLevel + 1
Next
End If
End Sub
'-----------------[ MAIN ]---------------------
Dim fso, objSubFolders, objFolder, fTarget
Set fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set fTarget = fso.OpenTextFile(LISTFILE, 2, True)
Set objFolder = fso.GetFolder(ROOTFOLDER)
ParseFolder objFolder, 0
fTarget.Close
Set fTarget = Nothing
Set objFolder = Nothing
Set fso = Nothing

The output should be a tab-delimited file suitable for import into
Excel etc.
