Anyway to the dir command in cmd dir has:-by default?

In the command prompt, by typing in "dir" displays the files in you current folder.  This is not, however, show hidden files or system files.  The fastest way to see them is by typing in the a: suffix-.  East - this here in any way change the order so that typing in "dir" is equivalent to "dir a: -"?

N ° Saurabh Joshi said, you cannot change the internal commands.  There is no "dir.exe.  The dir command is performed by code inside (i.e., internal to) cmd.exe.

  • A list of the internal commands of cmd.exe

    Hello

    Aim: I am trying to get a list of all internal controls in my version of cmd.exe.  I found a reference on them elsewhere.  But what 'I' have?  Here's what I've found so far.

    When I type cmd I just returned to the command prompt display

    Microsoft Windows [Version 6.0.6002]
    Copyright (c) 2006 Microsoft Corporation.  All rights reserved.

    Type cmd /? shows a list on the screen.

    And when I type cmd /? > intrnlcommands.txt, this list is now captured in a file called intrnlcommands.txt. See a short list below:

    Starts a new instance of the Windows command interpreter

    CMD [/A | / U] [/ Q] [/ D] [/ E: ON | / E: OFF] [/ F: WE | / F: OFF] [/ V: ON | / V: OFF]
    [[S] [/C | / k] string]

    / C runs the command specified by the string and then ends
    /K executes the command specified by the string but remains
    /S changes the processing of the string after /C or /K (see below)
    / Q turns echo off
    / D: disables running registry AutoRun commands (see below)
    /A causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be ANSI
    / U causes the output of internal commands to a pipe or file to be Unicode

    I was hoping the/a/a or options/u show me what I was looking for.  But I tried just these option and > somefilename.txt, who gave me a screen similar to what you would see if you type copy con, even if I type exit (not press F6) to return to a command prompt and no file has been created.

    Anyone have any experience using these switches? I'll keep looking.

    Thank you.  Any help is very appreciated!

  • Why the dir in a terminal window command displays all files?

    I want to be able to go in a directory and list all the files recursively, putting the results in a file.   But when I go into the directory and do dir, it shows only. and... and none of the files I know are in this directory.

    What is going on?

    Is there another way to list all the files, recursively, in a given folder and place the results in a text file that can be examined later?

    This file you are trying to do with DIR?

    Is this perhaps a hidden system folder?

  • Error 0x8000ffff trying code désenregistrez the codec file iac25_32.ax starting from the command prompt (cmd.exe)

    My Windows DVD Maker seems to hang after I click the button 'Next', so I looked in my event viewer for more details. I met that a failed module named 'iac25_32.ax' is the source of my problem. To remove it, I went to my command prompt (cmd.exe) and enter the following text: "regsvr32 /u iac25_32.ax' to try and unregister the codec file.

    Here is where my problem occurs: Once I hit enter, I get an error code reading - 0x8000ffff. Why won't my order process?

    Characteristics of code error : "iac25_32.ax" module was loaded but the call to DllUnregisterServer failed with error 0x8000ffff

    How can I solve this error 0x8000ffff code?

    Note that attempting to unregister a DLL that is not registered currently produces a similar to the following error dialog box, regardless of the version of Visual J ++ was used to create the DLL:

    Have you ever tried save this file?
    "iac25_32.ax" is a DVD MPEG-4 filter, as it is not a .dll file or not an .ocx file, perhaps it can be saved or unsaved in all cases, but other seem to suggest so it could be possible?

  • Where is the Refresh command from the page menu of Firefox on Mac?

    Cmd + r used to refresh the pages for me, but for some reason any stopped working in Firefox. It's pretty easy remap the command to a menu item, but the item menu to refresh page in Firefox is gone! It has been under notice. I looked in all the menus, but the Refresh command seems to have been deleted. Of course, I use the icons, but it's just bulky.

    I can't see how to close a question. CTRL + R has started working again, so I would like to mark this as resolved.

    That said, as a suggestion for the development of Firefox, I recommend to get away from the idea of the menu Burger - one of the worst DCP interface of all time in my humble OPINION!

  • How to use the shutdown command to stop another computer?

    I just saw the setting-m to the shutdown command and decided to give it a whirl. However, when I pointed out the computer in question, I received a message that "a required privilege is not owned by the customer.

    What should I do to be able to use my laptop to turn off my old desktop computer? Both are running XP Professional SP3.
    Sometimes, I like reading or watching streaming video on Hulu on the laptop while lying in bed, and sometimes I play music if do the first, which is stored in the form of MP3 files on the desktop (which I access via a share). Be able to turn the office without getting up would be nice, but you do not get this option with Remote Desktop.

    Here is the result, the office is "slickswintel" (he's old, and since when I went first from Mac to Windows 98SE, although it is now a double XP/98) and the laptop is "slickslaptop".
    Both machines have unprivileged called 'Slick' on them local accounts that are my accounts on the day the main day. I have a different admin account, but I only use it as needed and use runas as often I log in fact.

    What should I do to get the following to work? In spite of the passing the MCSA Exam, I never learned about this feature, so I'm not sure what I should do to make it work? It'll work on a workgroup or is it only for domains? While I could set up a domain with the copy of the server I got from Dreamspark, I really didn't need one.

    As a general rule, you must have administrative privileges on the remote computer to shut down this computer.  Given that both computers have XP Pro, you are halfway there (remote users always authenticate as 'Guest' on XP Home).  The computer that you are trying to close must have "Simple file sharing" disabled because otherwise you can not authenticate to this computer as anything except the user "guest".  So try to disable Simple file sharing, make sure that your user name and password are the same on both computers and make sure you have administrative privileges on the remote computer, and then you can stop the machine with the command "shutdown".

      <>http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/307874 >

    In fact, it's easier to use the remote desktop.  Even if you do not have a "Shutdown" option in the start menu, you can always open a command prompt window (start-> Run-> "cmd") and enter the command:
    stop s f t 35
    This will give you 35 seconds to logoff this computer before its judgment (assuming that you have administrator privileges).

  • RunAs with the /savecred option does not accept the credentials stored by the cmdkey command

    Hello

    I am trying to automate the storage of credentials for profiles of several people on several servers so that they can use it with scripts, they will use that have the command 'runas' with the /savecred option.  I use the command "cmdkey" to store the user and the password, but when the runas command is run, it prompts for the password anyway.  I know that the /savecred works since if I leave the command-line runas for the password and I enter, on subsequent runs, he is more requested for the password.  Curiously, if I use the cmdkey command to replace the stored credentials, runas invite you again the password so it can store it himself.  Almost as runas does not 'trust' cmdkey.  Any thoughts on why this can happen and how can I get around it?  I really need to automate the identification information storing or it will take a couple hundred manual executions of the runas command to get this store on the profiles of all the people in need.

  • I can't defragment my hard drive, even though I cancelled the chkdsk command.

    Whenever I have try to defragment my HARD drive, I get the Error Message: Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on this volume (c). Please run Chkdsk/f. I ran, canceled regular for the C: drive, but I still get the same error message whenever I try to run Disk Defragmenter. What else should I do to fix this?

    When you try to defragment a volume of that Disk Defragmenter reports:

    Disk Defragmenter has detected that Chkdsk is scheduled to run on the volume: (c :))
     
    Please run Chkdsk /f.

    This means that the volume that you want to defragment was marked 'dirty' XP.  This is not necessarily all of the data has been lost on the volume, it simply means that XP thinks that the volume should be checked to find errors because of something that happened before.

    You won't be able to defragment the volume until the dirty bit has been removed.

    This does not mean that a disk check is scheduled to run, and you can't cancel what needs to happen in this case because this isn't the problem.

    Also the dirty bit is not set on a volume, you can still run a disk defrag with a record of date of arrival in the meantime (try).

    Entry of commands to reset or erase a disc awaiting review is therefore a waste of time - that is not the problem.

    A volume can be marked as dirty, if the system underwent a power interruption (power failure, pulling plug, removing the battery, button / stop), abandoned restart or an abnormal termination.  One of these events?

    When XP starts, it automatically checks the bit of impurity on each volume.  You can also tell XP to ignore the bit of impurity on any volume, but this probably isn't a good idea in case there is a real problem that needs to be fixed.  If you have a hard drive where the dirty bit will not disappear, you can tell XP not to check.

    If the starting XP detects that the volume is dirty, it will be automatically run the check disk with error correction (chkdsk/r) and try to fix the problems detected.

    If the chkdsk command succeeds, it clears the dirty bit, and then you can defragment the volume.

    You can check the status of your bit of impurity from a command prompt window.

    To do this, click Start, run and enter in the box:

    cmd

    Click OK to open a command prompt window.

    For example, to query the bit of impurity on drive C, type:

    fsutil dirty query C:

    The sample output:
    Volume c is dirty
    Volume C: is dirty

    Is the volume of your sale or it is not dirty?

    You cannot use fsutil or chkntfs from a command prompt to delete the bit of impurity on a volume.

    The only thing that can clear the bit of impurity on a volume is chkdsk /r (or chkdsk/p).  You could tell XP not to check the bit of impurity on a volume where the dirty bit does not erase, but this probably isn't a good idea since there is some sort of problem on the volume.

    You also won't solve this problem by editing your registry database - not where is the problem.

    Once a volume is marked as dirty, the only way to clear the dirty bit is to run "chkdsk/r" or "chkdsk/p" when the volume is not in use.  The only way a volume can not be used while XP is just starting to load or from the XP Recovery Console.

    If XP will not run chkdsk correctly when your system restarts or the dirty bit will not erase as it should, you need to look in the Event Viewer log chkdsk and see what is happening and fix it.

    If XP will not always clear the dirty bit, you need to run chkdsk/r of the XP Recovery Console so you can look and see what works and run it again until it works.

    If you need help in doing this, I'm sure a technical support engineer can tell you how, and if not, I'll give you instructions.

  • Black square in the menu with the words 'Command Prompt' next to the place

I clicked it and it opens as a small black w/white square letters coming from Microsoft Corp. All rights reserved. 2006 and the next line of a c:\Users\user>_ and the cursor blinking. Should I just leave that on the menu in case I have it use?

    It of your choice, will not make a difference anyway.  Windows stores most often/most recently used commands and puts them under the ORB start so that they are just a click away.  It is an element of convenience only, and you can delete items here by right-clicking on them and selecting "remove from this list.  This does not remove the program, just deletes the shortcut to the frequently used list.
