[SOLVED] How can I see all files and folders on my c:\ drive

How can I see all files and folders and programs that are on my c:\ drive by listing or scrolling through them?

Try this -

START | type cmd.exe | right-click on cmd.exe above under Programs | select run as administrator | paste the following into the black cmd/DOS screen (to paste into DOS screen, right-click near the top of DOS screen, select Edit, select Paste)

Code:

dir c:\ /a /s > %temp%\0.txt & start notepad %temp%\0.txt

A note pad will open w/ a very long list. Note that <dir> = folder. It may appear to hang, but it is not. It just takes a few minutes.
