Assuming XP.
This must be done in a Batch File (.bat).
The first script is your exact requirement. The second script puts the timestamp in front of the filename which is more readable.
Just for interest, there are techniques available from Excel if you don't mind a bit of VB programming. For example (but do check your Excel and Windows version and re-search the KB).

dirread
DIRREAD(2) System Calls Manual DIRREAD(2)NAME
dirread - read directory
SYNOPSIS
#include <u.h>
#include <libc.h>
int dirread(int fd, Dir *buf, long nbytes)
DESCRIPTION
The data returned by a read(2) on a directory is a set of complete directory entries in a machine-independent format, exactly equivalent to
the result of a stat(2) on each file or subdirectory in the directory. Dirread decodes the directory entries into a machine-dependent
form. It reads from fd and unpacks the data into Dir structures in buf (see stat(2) for the layout of a Dir). Nbytes is the size of buf;
it should be a multiple of sizeof(Dir). Directory entries have length DIRLEN (defined in <libc.h>) in machine-independent form. A suc-
cessful read of a directory always returns a multiple of DIRLEN; dirread always returns a multiple of sizeof(Dir).
Dirread returns the number of bytes filled in buf; the number returned may be less than the number requested. The file offset is advanced
by the number of bytes actually read.
