| Forcing the Directory to Display a Certain Way SUMMARY: Force the DIR command to display directories your desired way.
If you wish to set the directory listings a certain way (when you use the DIR command), set the DIRCMD environmental variable to the parameters you wish to use.
To see a list of possible parameters for the DIRCMD, see the list of possible parameters for the DIR command. Type
DIR /?
To set the DIRCMD environmental variable, add the line
SET DIRCMD=xxxx
in your AUTOEXEC.BAT file, replacing 'xxx' with the parameters you wish to use. For example, the parameter "/ON" would cause your DIR results to be automatically sorted by filename. The "/W" command automatically sets the DIR results to a wide-directory format.
