China DOS Union

It's enough because I've come up with a better way that can run completely under pure DOS. Thanks, Wengier!

gmy:

This is actually directly related to the way short filenames are generated in NT CMD. You need to know that the way short filenames are generated in NT CMD is quite different from that in DOS/Win9x and is relatively non-standard. If you want to deliberately and completely imitate the corresponding short filename like E2E2~1 established in NT CMD, you need to greatly modify the existing short filename generation method in DOSLFN (the existing generation method is based on DOS/Win9x) and add support for character codes (this is related to the special generation principle of short filenames in NT CMD). It can be seen that it is not very simple to really implement this, and it may have an impact on the compatibility of DOS. Moreover, after all, this is only the difference in the names of short filenames, and there is no direct relationship with the hiding of special directories such as.., so for the Explorer of XP, such directories are still completely hidden, and the effect is actually not different.

Ask the administrator Wengier, how to use DOSLFN? Is it run under pure DOS?

Yes, it runs just like a general TSR program (such as SMARTDRV, etc.).

Comrades, study more about things under NTFS.

Create directory md b:\director..\ md b:\...\
Copy file copy filename.ext b:\director..\ copy filename.ext b:\...\
Access directory start b:\director..\ start b:\...\
Execute file start b:\director..\filename.ext start b:\...\filename.ext
Delete directory rd b:\director..\ /s /q rd b:\...\ /s /q

The previous DOSLFN that supports d:\abc. has been downloaded and it works well.

But it does not support directory like d:\..\!

Because I found the trick of md d:\..\ on Wuyou Forum (the resource manager can't see it, even though " ...

Dear moderator, I downloaded the DOSLFN provided by WENGIER on the 6th floor. After executing DOSLFN in the CMD state of XP, I can't realize the hidden directory you mentioned at all with the MD command. What's wrong with me?
For example, I execute
F:\MD ..
and it prompts ACCESS IS DENIED

The person upstairs, from the name DOSLFN, you can know that this program is a tool to support long file names under DOS. Of course, it is useless to use it under CMD! The wrong running environment is exactly the problem.

I created a folder using md \...\ in CMD. Now how do I display or find it? I used start to operate and got the prompt: "There is no program associated with this file to perform the operation"!

Got to learn something new. Oh, this folder I've been struggling with for a long time, now it's finally sorted out! Hee hee!

I'm a super newbie, but I also want to create hidden directories. Learning...

I tried and can create a folder named "～1", but I can't create such a folder in an NTFS partition.
Also, can I name custom file names, not necessarily "～1", like "yingcang~1; mine～1, etc."? Is that okay? Also, to achieve deep hiding in Windows, it can only be accessed through the direct file path. I tried several times and it didn't work.
Anyway, I can't figure it out. Although I can create folders like "cdef...", they are visible in Windows. Also, I failed to create such hidden files in subdirectories.
Hope an expert can give instructions! Thank you!
It's best to have step-by-step operation procedures because I'm super newbie.

It's okay. What's the benefit of hiding it?

Thanks a lot. It works well and I've mastered the method again.

I can't download the file named DOSLFN.
