The free Excel add-in "List Files" will do that.

In the event that Microsoft does not get around to your request, here's a
small macro that will do that for you. Just change the path in the DIR
command to the directory you want the files listed from:

Sub PostFileNames()

Dim strDir As String
Dim strFile As String
Dim lngRow As Long

ActiveWorkbook.Worksheets("Sheet1").Activate
Range("A1").Select
strDir = "C:\*.*"
strFile = Dir(strDir)

Do While strFile < ""
ActiveCell.Offset(lngRow).Value = strFile
lngRow = lngRow + 1
strFile = Dir
Loop

End Sub

Hi CandiceMyers

If you use local folders this is a way for the folder C:\Data to copy to a txt file

Shell "CMD /C DIR C:\data\ /B /S C:\MYFILES.TXT"
Shell "notepad.exe C:\MYFILES.txt", vbNormalFocus

Check out also this way

You can change it to this to display the txt file and not print

@echo off
dir %1 /-p /b /o:gn /s "%temp%\Listing.txt"
start notepad "%temp%\Listing.txt"
exit
