Why batch ?

why not run the command

go to command prompt
go to the root folder from where you want to scan
type dir /ad /b /s > myfolderlist.txt

You are welcome. If you dont have sub folders within subfolders, but rather have all the folders at one level then you could try thing

go to to the target folder and type
dir /ad /b >myfolderlist.txt

this will create a file that contains all the sub folders at that level (it would not look at the whole tree of folder) and in which case you should have have to use notepad to remove the extra path info
