SYMPTOMS
Issuing a redirected MS-DOS TREE /F command at a command prompt within the Windows 95 graphical user interface results in incomplete output. This behavior occurs in both windowed and full-screen MS-DOS sessions.

RESOLUTION
To work around this behavior, issue the redirected TREE /F command after restarting the computer in MS-DOS mode, or after booting the computer to a command prompt.

To restart the computer in MS-DOS mode, click the Start button, click Shut Down, click "Restart the computer in MS-DOS mode," and then click Yes.

To boot the computer to a command prompt, restart the computer. When you see the "Starting Windows 95" message, press the F8 key, and then choose Command Prompt Only from the Startup menu.

MORE INFORMATION

To display the files in all the folders on drive C one screen at a time, use the following command:

  tree c:\ /f | more To print the list of files displayed using the previous example, use the following command:

  tree c:\ /f > prn NOTE: The TREE command (Tree.com) is an MS-DOS command. Tree.com is not installed by Windows 95, but is available on the Windows 95 CD-ROM or from online services. For information about installing the old MS-DOS tools included with Windows 95, please see the following article:
