Is there any program to make a file list?

Pretty much this: I have a bunch of back-ups CDs and DVDs and I want to put they files back in the computer, for the first time I think I have enough HD for that.

well, I also would like to make a list of them all to keep track of both the DVDs and in my computer, also to help search identical files and stuff. I pretty much want to know if there is a program that can make this, creating a list of files and turn it in a text file.

Help?
 
Yeah, Windows can do it.

1. Open the command prompt. In WinXP this is Start->Run, then type cmd in the box.

2. In the command prompt, go to the folder you want to make the list in. For example, if I wanted to make a file list of all my music that I have on my third hard drive, I'd type
cd f:\music

4. Type this in the command prompt.
dir > filename.txt

My list of music would look like this for example
dir > musiclist.txt

The file automatically spews out into the folder you were in when you made it. Easymode.
 
ls -R>file_name

dir /a:-d /b /s>filename.ext

The above commands will recursively list directories and contents and dump the screen output to a file.

ls for UN*X-based
dir for DOS/Windows-based
 
And to search for identical files, use one of many duplicate finder programs out there.
 
Thanks, but I use Windows Vista, would it still work?

Yes - you can use the same "CMD" (that Mindblast mentions above) to get to a command prompt. Hit the Vista "start" button (circle) and type it directly into the "Start Search" box above that.

Also, I've used the free FileLister before when I wanted a specific feature I couldn't get with the command prompt file piping. You could try it if you want. I can't vouch for how well it works in Vista - try it in a previous Windows version emulation mode if it squaks.

It seems to work just fine, thanks =)
