I don't know, what format you need to print out such information.

You can use the simple DOS command DIR /s or TREE /F for it in a cmd environment.

For more infos about usage of this commands, sinply type TREE /? or DIR /? in a DOS BOX (cmd).

You can store the output into a file for editing later, by adding >filename.txt

I'm dumb. But before I go get DOS fer Dummys, I type at the command propmt:

TREE /F C:\Documents and Settings...

and I get back:

"too many parameters"

I'm lost already.

This will do it
At cmd prompt. Change ? for your drives only spaces needed between eg (c d e f g)
for %D in (c ? ? ?) do attrib /s %D:\*.* >allfiles.txt
If in batch
for %%D in (c) do attrib /s %%D:\*.* >allfiles.txt
To just display to screen remove >allfiles.txt
