>>51623852
how do i get filenames to show up when I open this in cmd? I get everything except the red highlighted section

>>51623981
Sorry, not a windows person who responded to you before. You might try dir /? I think. See if any of the options sound like they might give you the extra info you seek.

Aren't those DOS filenames? When Windows showed up with longer supported filenames they had to truncate them for the command line or some shit. I don't know what I'm talking about though.

8.3 filenames. They're a holdover from the olden days of DOS, when files could have at most eight character names with three character extensions.

When the 32-bit API came along, in order to provide backward-compatibility with older software packages, they mapped long filenames (up to MAX_PATH in length, I guess, unless you used UNC naming, but the UNC thing was probably only on even later OS releases) to 8.3 format and handled either one for a given file.

dir /x
will give you the 8.3 filenames

>>51623803
Legacy?

You're assuming he knows what 8.3 filenames means.
