Writing the contents of a directory to a text file
This is probably in the wrong forum since it's a windows tool I'm after, but I've placed it here so people having the offtopic banned would see it too...
 Feel free to trash it, but please mods, *after* I'll get me a proper tool!  So, the main question is, how do I easly write the directories/files contents tree to a file? Preferably to a text file, so it'll be easly viewable and small. I'm asking this cause I've just got a huge amount of scene stuff, so I'm in the middle of sorting all this and packing, for a torrent upload on U-G.

in wondows XP its quite simple
type in the directory you want as root c:\myfilesroot\ tree > [file loaction:\filename] this will output directory structure from the called position and outputs the file as a ascii file |

Is it just me or does it only write the contents of the directory I'm currently in?
Cause I want it to list all the directiories/files inside directiories/files, too. |

I use the Total Commander for this. Check the buttons in the Top Bar. You can add a command to them.
Configurations --> Buttonbar

@R-N: Thanks, I'd rather stick with SpeedCommander
@Belg: Of course I don't, I'm an Amiga user  No, but really I did mess with dos to run old games back in 1999 when I got me first pc with win'98, but only knew hot to prep a boot disk, save memory and move between dirs. BTW, Thankyou, that worked! |

Try Directory Opus for Windows by GP Software. While it is expensive as hell, it has extensive capability to output directories to .txt with lots of formatting options etc., amongst a plethora of other ingenious functions. It is simply the mother of all file-managers!
