I'm just starting to use XP (as an MCE) and wonder if there is a way to
change the listing of files in the directories in DOS to resemble the way my
old Me system did with shortcut name of file/type/size/date/long name- on the
printout, in that order.
Thanks,
Vince

XP doesn't have DOS.

If you mean in a command prompt, type this in the window, dir /?

Look at /O sortorder

Hope this helps. Let us know.

For %A in (c*.*) do @echo %~nsA %~sxA %~zA %~tA

Make your own dir listing anyway you like. See the end of for /? for %~ switches.
