DOS Directories and Files

View a Wide Listing of Files

When we need to quickly view our files, we can add a /W to the directory command. This will display our files into five columns on the screen.

Directions:

1. Type: dir/w and press Enter.

2. DOS will list only the name of you file and the file extension on the screen.

NOTE:

Use this command when you are not concerned with looking at the file size or the date it was created.
