I find that when I do a list directory command that all of the contents are not show in the window, I can scroll down, but not up.

E.g.
cd C:\Windows\System32
dir

This will ONLY show all item from S-Z not from A-Z
Can anyone tell me how to fix this so I can see Everything Listed?dir /P

press any key to scroll another screenful. It is going by so fast you don't see the A-Sok dir /p does the trick. Thanks a lot.

Still the QUESTION remains, why doesn't the entire list not show. I know it goes so fast that I don't see it, by why woulnd't it list?I think it does. It is just too fast for the eye. What kind of processor do you have?P4 3.0Ghz, 1024MB RAM, 128MB Graphics Card...In Laptop.If you are not interested in seeing file details, you can use dir/w/p and many more files to the page will be listed.Yeah dir/w/p list files HORIZONTALLY, while dir alone list them vertically.

If you are not interested in seeing file details, you can use dir/w/p and many more files to the page will be listed.

Who did MS lift that feature from? Was it PC-DOS or DR-DOS? I just can't remember the details. It was quite an addition in it's TIME!Another solution:
cd c:\windows\system32
dir |more

Or:
You may redirect the output of a command to a file:
E.g.:
cd c:\windwos\system32
dir > outdir.txt

After that, you can read the content of the file with notepad, EDIT or some other program.
at command prompt you can use:
edit outdir.txt
You can also do
dir | less

(Less has more features than more.) :-) :-)
