re: Dos settings in XP and 2000 Tuesday, January 14, 2003 at 7:35 am Windows XP Annoyances Discussion Forum Posted by Chip (161 messages posted) I think what he wants is a way for the file name to be displayed first, instead of the date, when viewing files in a command prompt window. Though not true DOS, it looks very similar and can be confusing to those who don't know how the operating systems are built. I've seen ways to do what he's asking, but don't know right off the top of my head as I've never had a real need for it. It can be done though.
