DOS

Show all files in a directory

If you use the DIR, command in DOS 5.0 and later (that's DIR followed immediately by a comma), you get a complete listing of all the files in the directory, regardless of their attributes. This means any hidden files that normally wouldn't show up using the regular DIR command, are listed using this command.

You can also use the DIR command with /b, /L, /ON etc., to get a more specific directory listing. To get a list of ways you can customize your DIR command, type DIR /? at the DOS prompt.
