Question

So i am currently trying to use the dir command from within my c:/ directory, however, i dont want to see whats in my c:/, i want to see something from a sub directory, such as /users and such. I am currently running windows vista.

I have tried using the help command on the dir command (dir /h) but it has shed no light on what i am trying to do. I am ultimately trying to do this so that i do not have to do things like the following:

cd /the/directory/i/want
dir
cd /

Answer 1

If your current directory is C:\ and your want to list the contents
of c:\temp, this will list c:\temp on the windows XP cmd utility.

dir c:\temp
