Automate the DIR Command

prompt using open Run option
Click Start and open Run option then type cmd to open command prompt, here type
set dircmd=/w/o/p
then press Enter, now every time thereafter that you type
dir
the /w/o/p switches will be automatically applied and now need to type every time. If your are interested to use single switch like /w you can use it

set dircmd=/w

and press Enter.

and same if you wants to undo these switches then you can very easily by typing

dir /-switch

For example, if you wanted to do a directory with only the /w switch, you could enter

dir /-p/-o

When you exit the Command prompt window, however, the Dircmd setting returns to its default settings.
