You could use the old DOS dir command to output the directory structure, with
all included files, to a text file and then import this into Excel. You might
need to do a little editing on a text editor to organize the data, e.g., add
tabs to create a tab-delimited file which would import cleaner and save work
on the Excel side.
Open a command window and try entering:
c:
cd workingfiles
Dir c:\workingfiles /o /s > workingfiles.txt
