While using the DIR command, you can use certain switches with it. Which one of the following cannot be used with DIR? A. /P B. /W C. /S D. /T E. None of the above

/P
/W
/S
/T E. None of the above

The correct answer is: A. /P

The DIR command is used to list the files and folders in a directory. It can be used with a variety of switches to control the output. The following switches are available:

  • /A: Displays files with the specified attributes.
  • /B: Displays files in a bare format.
  • /C: Displays file sizes in bytes.
  • /D: Displays directories in lowercase.
  • /L: Displays file names in lowercase.
  • /N: Displays file names in sorted order.
  • /O: Displays file names in sorted order by the specified field.
  • /P: Pauses after each screenful of output.
  • /Q: Quiet mode. Suppresses most output.
  • /R: Recursively lists subdirectories.
  • /S: Displays files in the current directory and all subdirectories.
  • /T: Controls the sorting order of the directory listing.
  • /W: Displays the directory listing in wide list format.
  • /X: Displays file names and extensions in lowercase.

The /P switch is used to pause after each screenful of output. This can be useful if you want to be able to read the output without it scrolling off the screen. However, it cannot be used with the /W switch. The /W switch is used to display the directory listing in wide list format. This means that the file names and extensions are displayed on multiple lines. If you use the /P switch with the /W switch, the output will be incorrect.
