For Windows, is there an easier way to copy-paste ALL the file names inside a folder to a text/excel document?

I have a folder with a bunch of files. For example, folder C:\Users\AAAA\Desktop\stuff has 150 ridiculous file names like "vous etes tres gentil.xls," "je ne sais quoi.ppt," and "iwe478r5yGHFAS.png."

I am trying to gather all the file names in a text document and I have been doing it the hard way by typing out the easy and memorable file names one by one and copying and pasting the longer/forgettable file names one by one to the text document. I eventually need to import the text document to excel.

Is there a better way to do this? There should be a program or a setting that allows you to copy and paste all the file names inside a folder in one non-heineous, non-redundant manner.

I know in linux, all you need to do is type in "./" or something and it automatically lists all the file names within a folder from the command prompt. Is there a similar function in Windows/Microsoft Office (more specifically in Excel)?
