Which is exactly what "DIR /S" does. Try this:

Click Start->Run
Type cmd then press Return
in the command window that opens, do:
C:
CD \
DIR /S

Pressing Return after each line

Now to get the lot into one file do:
DIR /S > \filelist.txt

The entire output of the DIR command is written to \filelist.txt, from
where you can work on it further.

To do the same for the contents of G:\myapp\myfiles - just do:

G:
CD \myapp\myfiles
DIR /S > filelist.txt

HTH,
