Code:
cd C:\Documents and Settings\alan\My Documents\My eBooks\Calibre
calibredb list > books.txt
Note that the calibredb command will run from anywhere, but the "cd" command put me in the directory I wanted (which will be different in your case, just copy it from the Adress bar of a standard file window and paste it after typing cd in a command window).

The list of ebooks will then be in books.txt.
