Is there a quick way to copy a list of filenames as text into the clipboard from Windows Explorer?
I can do it from the command prompt with dir > filenames.txt, but I am looking for something along the lines of Ctrl + C -> Ctrl + V.

Right-click that folder and select Show more options. Click Copy File List to Clipboard on the classic menu. You'll still need to paste the copied list into a text file. Launch Run, type Notepad in the Open box, and click OK.
Press "Ctrl-A" and then "Ctrl-C" to copy the list of file names to your clipboard.
Select all the files, press and hold the shift key, then right-click and select Copy as path. This copies the list of file names to the clipboard. Paste the results into any document such as a txt or doc file & print that.
To print all of the files in a folder, open that folder in Windows Explorer (File Explorer in Windows 8), press CTRL-a to select all of them, right-click any of the selected files, and select Print. Of course, you can also select a few specific files and print them the same way.
In Windows 7 and later, this will do the trick for you
The menu item Copy as Path is not available in Windows XP.

If you paste the listing into your word processor instead of Notepad, (since each file name is in quotation marks with the full path name), you can highlight all the stuff you don't want on the first file, then use Find and Replace to replace every occurrence of that with nothing. Same with the ending quote (").
It makes a nice clean list of file names.
