How do I recursively list filenames (only) in DOS/Windows?

cd /d C:\Path\To\Source\Folder
for /r %i in (*) do @echo %~ni

If you need the list saved to a file, append >> C:\Path\To\list_file.txt to the end of the for command.

If you end up wanting the extensions, change %~ni to %~nxi

To use in a batch file, change all the % to %%

If you are willing to load powershell, this command should do it.

get-childitem "d:\acc" -recurse|foreach {$_.Basename}

Doing something like the following should get you what you want:

@for /f "delims=" %a in ('Dir /s /b %systemdrive%') do echo %~na

Just pipe the output to a file and use it from there if needed.

Don't know if you'd consider it a 3rd party software or not since it's form Microsoft and ships with 7, but powershell will solve most of your problem pretty easily. If you haven't already installed it, it's available for XP on Microsoft's site.

Get-ChildItem -path "C:\Program Files\" -recurse | foreach ($_) {
    write $_.name
}
