Sorting of directory listing in Command Prompt

Sorting of directory listing in Command Prompt.

Yes it is true that Command Prompt is safer to display files in listing than the Windows Explorer because of MALWARES today. I am also using the Command Prompt to remove manually MALWARES in my computer.

Going to the issue, we have a simple solution for that, we are confident that you will love this solution. Let’s get into the command prompt.

1. Press Window + R the type cmd.exe on the run dialog box then click ok.

2. Under the Command Line Interface (CLI) the following on the command prompt:

SET DIRCMD=/O-D

3. Now, type DIR on your command prompt then press ENTER.

The problem here is when you exit from the Command Prompt you need to type again the SET DIRCMD=/O-D. To make it permanent, create a DIRCMD=/O-D in your environment variable under your System Settings in Control Panel.

1. Press Window + R then type SYSDM.CPL on the run dialog box and click ok.
2. Click the Advanced tab.
3. Click Environment Variable button.
4. Then under the System Variables click New.
5. Type DIRCMD on the variable name and /O-D on the Variable Value then click Ok.
6. Run the CMD.EXE and execute the DIR command to see what happened.
