@echo off
set directory=.
dir /s "%directory%" >"%temp%\filelist"
md5 "%temp%\filelist" >> output.txt
del/q "%temp%\filelist"

a recursive list of all files in the specified directory is written to a temporary file
(use .

for the current directory, %~1

for the first command line parameter)
md5

the hash of this file is appended to output.txt

in the current directory
temporary file deleted
