Create a batch file with the following commands:

@echo off
pushd %1
if exist *.txt for %%i in (*.txt) do if %%~zi==0 ECHO "%%i" >> list.txt
popd

This should find all the *.txt files of zero length and write the results to list.txt. Run the batch file from the directory where the files are located.

The following command would go through all the subfolders and the resulting txt file will contain full paths. @afrazier thanks for the correction.

for /r %i in (*.*) do if %~zi==0 ECHO "%i" >> list.txt
