What's it about??: After this tutorial,an option will be available whenever you right-click any folder which will display all the files and sub-folders inside that folder and save it to a text file.

Create a .bat file
Open Notepad and copy-paste the following data in it.

cd %1
dir /a /b /-p /o:gen >C:\filelist.txt
start notepad C:\filelist.txt

Click to expand...

You can edit the path to your preference.Now name this file anything you wish and save it anywhere you wish.
Make file visible in right click context menu.
Open explorer window,Go to Tools>Folder Options..>File types and from the registered file types list,select FOLDER.Click on Advanced>New....In the Action box,type in the name you want in context menu.For e.g. Generate File List..Then click on Browse..,navigate to the .bat file created in step 1 and save the changes.
Congratulations!!
You are done with the tutorial!!.Now right click any folder and select Generate File Listing.A text file will be created in your C:\ drive [or any path you specified in the .bat file.] called filelist.txt which contains list of all files and sub-folders in the parent folder!

Works perfectly on my side.If you followed everything perfectly,the only reason I can think of is: Did the folder you try it on have any sub-folders??

Oh and those who tried it out,have a look at the source too.I lists quite a few modifications to this trick.
