Take a look at Boost.Filesystem, especially the basic_directory_iterator.

When you click the second link in my answer and scroll down a little, there is a sample application that lists all the items in a directory. If you are not able to take it from there, look at http://stackoverflow.com/questions/388242/

If you want the C++ and portable way, follow the solution by @Space_C0wb0y and use boost.Filesystem, otherwise, if you want to get your hands dirty with the Windows APIs, you can use the FindFirstFile/FindNextFile/FindClose functions.
You can find here an example related to them.

You're welcome. If you solved with this method you may mark my answer as accepted. :)Still, keep in mind that if you need portability and C++ style the best method is the one suggested by Space_C0wb0y.
