Another way is through a small batch file I wrote. (I've also encorporated it into 
the Registry so it works from a right-click.) Following is both files - copy them 
to notepad, then save them as indicated. Move "list.bat" to the C:\WINDOWS\ directory, 
then double click "list.reg". (You will need to edit list.reg if your Windows directory 
is not C:\WINDOWS\.)

---Copy everything below to Notepad, save as "list.bat"---
@echo off 
dir /s %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing.txt" 
notepad "%temp%\Listing.txt"
del "%temp%\Listing.txt"
exit

rem ---- TO PRINT ----
rem @echo off 
rem dir %1 /-p /o:gn > "%temp%\Listing.txt" 
rem notepad /p "%temp%\Listing.txt"
rem start /w notepad /p "%temp%\Listing.txt" 
rem del "%temp%\Listing.txt" 
rem exit
rem ---- TO PRINT ----
---Copy everything above to Notepad, save as "list.bat"---

Now for the Registry file...

---Copy everything below to Notepad, save as "list.reg"---
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Folder_list_to_file\command]
@="C:\\WINDOWS\\list.bat \"%1\""
---Copy everything above to Notepad, save as "list.reg"---

After you've done everything right, you should have two files:
 - list.bat
 - list.reg

Again, first copy list.bat to your Windows folder. Then double-click list.reg to 
add it to teh right click. To use, simply right click any folder and select "Folder 
list to file". It will pop open Notepad with your directory listing, complete with 
full path, name, modified date and size. You should save it somewhere else if you'd 
like to keep it. After closing off Notepad, the batch file will delete the temporary 
file (listing.txt) it created. =)
