Please ask the following question in English: "What are the possible reasons why the dir command cannot find the file in the command line? The computer is running Windows XP SP2 operating system, and the system partition is in NTFS format, while drive K is in FAT32 format.

"Microsoft Windows XP

C:\Documents and Settings\jm>dir k:
Volume in drive K is Temporary Data
Volume Serial Number is CC6E-12A2

Directory of K:\

File not found"

Check if "dir /a k:" works.

After checking for a long time, I finally figured out what was going on.
It turned out that it was because the batch processing program was set incorrectly, setting all the files in drive K to the system attribute, resulting in the dir command being unable to obtain the directory list.

attrib +h /s %drive%\*.exe
Put this batch file in drive D to hide only .exe files on this drive.
If you want to hide .exe files on all drives, how to set the environment variable?
SET can also set environment variables... Can SET replace %?
How to write it then?

You need to use the for statement to list all drives. The code is as follows:
for %%a in (C D E F G H I J K L M N O P Q R S T U V W X Y Z) do ( if exist %%a:\recycled\nul attrib +h /s %%a:\*.exe if exist %%a:\recycler\nul attrib +h /s %%a:\*.exe )

Dare not test it actually, but think that attrib +h /s %%a:\*.exe seems difficult to operate on all .exe files.
