SUMMARY: Display files on your computer that lack extensions such as .exe, .txt, or .com.
You know that typing DIR *. and an extension name displays all filenames with said extension, so that typing DIR *.BAT displays all batch files, DIR *.SCR displays all screensavers, etc. What about when you want to display all files without extensions? The following command does the trick:
DIR /A-D *.
Note that the /a-d modifier is needed, otherwise your list of files without extensions will also contain a list of subdirectories.
Press the "print" button on your browser or select "File" - "Print" to print this tip. Then, return to DOS and Batch Files - View Files Without Extensions
