If you just want a listing of the files sorted by name, from Window's 
command prompt:
> dir /on
If you just want the file names without the other metadata (file size, 
date, etc.), add /b:
> dir /b /on
You can even redirect the output from that command into a file, which 
avoids line wraps on long file names:
> dir /b /on > filename.txt

For other options on the dir command:
> dir /?

Mark.
