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?

Type Dir /? help by using the DIR command.

    Hello

    Run the sfc/scannow command.

    http://support.Microsoft.com/kb/929833

    Use the (SFC.exe) System File Checker tool to determine which file is causing the problem and then replace the file. To do this, follow these steps:

    1. Open an elevated command prompt. To do this, click Start, click principally madeprograms,Accessories, right-clickguest, and then clickrun as administrator. If you are prompted for an administrator password or a confirmation, type the password, or clickallow.
    2. Type the following command and press ENTER:
      sfc/scannow

  • Run a Windows command on all virtual machines

    Using PowerCLI, is it possible to run a Windows command on all virtual machines?  I would like to hiberbation disabled on all my servers as it is unnecessary and take up disk space.  Running powercfg-h off will do, but I really want to do it on all 200 of my VM.

    I can't seem to find the option in group policy, so I was hoping that this could be an option.

    The above posts are excellent resolutions. Here is another possible approach.

    You can do this with a Powershell script. Something like this should work:

    1. The list of virtual machines:

    SE connect-ViServer here VCenter server name

    $vms = get - VM

    1. If you have installed Powershell and PSRemoting enabled on each virtual machine, run the following:

    $vms | foreach-object {Invoke-Command - ComputerName $_.} Name - ScriptBlock {powercfg - h}

    1. If you have not installed Powershell and PSRemoting on each virtual machine, use WMI:

    foreach ($vm to $vms)

    {

    $vmName = $vm. Name

    (\[WMIClass\] ")
    (' $vmName\ROOT\CIMV2: Win32_Process "). Create ("cmd /c powercfg - h)

    }

    You should probably use the WMI method since it is unlikely that all of your virtual machines have Powershell installed and configured for remote access.

  • Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?

    Upgrade to Windows 10 erase all files and programs now on my computer, or make it unusable?  I have since I have not answered on this site, I headed to the computer store, 'Best Buy', to see if their staff or their staff of in-house computer repair people called "Geek Squad" could answer this question.  NONE OF THEM COULD.

    Well up to now, I had a lot of problems with windows 10. Some programs do not work. My wireless guard is disconnected. And when I restored it windows 8.1, my browsers did not work. It's just on a single computer. Others have not yet verified, I'm very satisfied with the situation. He also removed my antivirus program.

    The biggest problem is with the software I paid for and that you do not have a disk to reinstall. WHY - because today ' today, software publishers want you pay every month, and when things like that, go bad, there is no record of re - install the software. I spent hours trying to solve this problem, but until now I'm waiting for Microsoft's online live chat 194 minutes go.

    I would say that they should have ethics applied to developers of software for this kind of things don't happen. How unfair is that they release a product with a ton of bugs simply because developers are too lazy to correct the problems before its release. They must be charged a fine for lack of ethics in programming.

    So to answer your question - so far the files are still there, but has great difficulty with the programs works not as they did. In addition, if go back you to an earlier version of windows, it seems that they made it impossible for previous versions to work as before without having to reinstall all the software you have.

    I'd wait until they have corrected most of the bugs. I'm stuck, but you're not.

  • How to use the string as a terminal window control

    Hi all

    I am setting up a terminal window in my VI and to do this I have a control of the chain and an indicator of the chain.

    I want the user to be able to write a command in the terminal and when hitting enter into the control must update, but not before! I'd do it

    as the user to be able to enter several commands without having to re - click the control with the mouse, so he must stay in the

    control window.

    The result of this chain control is introduced to an external motor controller, which responds with a string entry in the string of an invoke node indicator.

    I tried to make some case of the event, but not quite sure how I'm going to only detect the input control.

    Any ideas how to precede?

    Thank you

    Concerning

    Tommy

    Yes, in the structure of your event, look for an event of your control chain called 'key' down... on the left, there are several upcoming parameters (char, Vcle etc.) where you can use for example the char find char = 13 (back).

    Look here: http://zone.ni.com/reference/en-XX/help/371361B-01/lvprop/control_key_down/

  • Question about connecting to the network with a Terminal window

    So I turn on dial in properties connection on page "Security properties" dialogue box "show Terminal window.

    Problem during dial-in: the window does not occur.
    Second problem: if I go next time to this option, the input value is not saved.

    Any ideas?

    Kind regards

    Please don't be crazy about me, but I don't see what's in your specific assignment for the Toshiba forum.

    You should speak with your company's network administrator and it should be able to help you. Otherwise, perhaps on some network specific forum you will have more chance to find what is the solution to your problem.

    If you have laptop Toshiba and everything you need for the connection works fine, I put t see to write here.

    In any case I wish good luck and hope that your network administrator will be able to help you.

  • PowerEdge 2850 - How can I join the ISO from Dell (v.6.5.0) all files?

    Hello

    I downloaded the Dell DVD ISO - Dell Systems Management Tools and Documentation, v.6.5.0, A01 files

    OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01. ISO.001 and OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.002

    but can't seem to find instructions on how to make a large ISO file.

    Help would be appreciated. Thanks Andrew

    Instructions are on the download page for each ISO, under the Instructions of Installation image:

    After downloading all the segments of the file, run the following command to create the ISO file:

    Copy /b OM * OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso [Windows]

    Note: If the generic format above does not bring the segments of the file in the right order, run the following command instead to create the ISO file:

    copy/b OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.001 + OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.002 OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso [Windows]

    Use your DVD burning software to create a DVD from OM_6.5.0_SMTD_A01.iso.

  • Why the Elements 9 can't read a large .wmv file that plays well in Windows Media Player?

    I don't understand why a video clip of 42 MB that looks perfectly crisp and clear and play 'out of the box' in Windows Media Player seems to blur and "pixelated" in items 9.  It also does not work smoothly, instead she jolts in the first seconds of the clip, then stops. I thought Elements 9 recognizes the characteristics of the file and allows you to adjust its settings to play automatically.  I didn't have to adjust anything in Windows Media Player, it just has played, so I thought that elements 9 would know how to display and play as well.  Is there something I need to do to address the Elements 9?

    In addition to excellent suggestions of Neale, you will see an improvement in the results if you return your file.

    Your video has a red line above it on your timeline? It is an indication that the segment must made. Press ENTER. The red line goes to the Green and your reading should be much closer to what your end result will look like.

    WMVs - especially hi-def WMVs - are not the best sources for Premiere Elements projects. WMVs are mainly broadcast formats.

  • Use F'fox on Windows 7, when I have several windows open, why the relative location of these windows in the taskbar sometimes change?

    In general, I have three windows open Firefox, each with several tabs. Firefox itself is pinned to the Windows taskbar. Some of the tabs are set to reload.

    The behavior that I find strange is that the window that initially had the means of the taskbar sometimes migrating to the first position. This behavior can be controlled, or the less predicts?

    Thank you

    Hi Avocet,
    I guess this change because it's the last window to load a new page or which has been highlighted. If this happens on one of the tabs autoload, that might explain it.

  • Why the function "move to new window" that I used to use does not work when I right click on the tab more?

    It was when I right click on the tab in Firefox I could use the option 'Move to the new window'. Now when I go down to this option, it seems it will work, but nothing happens. The other day I changed some options in Firefox, but I don't remember changing anything that sounded as if it would have this effect, and now I can't find all the options that seem to fix. Thanks in advance for any help.

    Hello Beorn, probably the problem is an extension that is not working properly. Try Firefox Safe mode to see if the problem goes away. Safe mode is a troubleshooting mode, which disables most of the modules.

    (If you use it, switch to the default theme).

    • You can open Firefox 4.0 + in Safe Mode holding the key SHIFT key when you open the desktop Firefox or shortcut in the start menu.
    • Or open the Help menu and click on the restart with the disabled... modules menu item while Firefox is running.

    Once you get the pop-up, simply select "" boot mode safe. "

    If the issue is not present in Firefox Safe Mode, your problem is probably caused by an extension, and you need to understand that one. To do this, please follow article Troubleshooting extensions, themes and problems of hardware acceleration to resolve common Firefox problems .

    To exit safe mode of Firefox, simply close Firefox and wait a few seconds before you open Firefox for normal use again.

    When find you what is causing your problems, please let us know. It might help others who have the same problem.

    Thank you
