Actually the software you need exists since DOS exists
Go to CMD:
Change to the directory (folder) whose files you want to print using the CD command
input
DIR > List.txt
A text list with all the files and folders will be generated
Any question? COMMENT please

The previous answer is incomplete and not quite correct. Open the drive or folder that CONTAINS the folder in which the files are stored.
Open a command prompt (CP). Type PUSHD and a space, but don't press Enter.
Left-click and drag the folder into the CP window. Click in the window and press Enter. The folder with your files should now be the active directory.
To create a listing of the file names and nothing else, type
dir /A-D-S-H /B > filelist.txt
This filters out folders, system and files, timestamps and file sizes, etc.
If you like, you can create a batch (.BAT) file containing just the command above, and place it in the folder. Double-click the file to create or update the file list.
