The whole thing seems a bit hackish to me and it still leaves links to 
files and links to folders on my Windows test machine.

I like this:
contents = Dir.entries(Pathname.getwd)

Better than this:
contents = Dir["#{Dir.getwd}/*"]

It makes more sense to me and seems more readable.

I wish that with either approach File.file? would work like this:

Dir.entries(Pathname.getwd).each do |entry|
   if File.file?(entry)
     puts entry
   end
end
