Which DOS command is used on newer Windows systems to list both long and short filenames?

  1. Dir /x

  2. Dir /b

  3. Dir /s

  4. Set Dircmd=/on /w

The correct answer is: Dir /x

On newer Windows systems, the command "dir /x" is used to display both long and short filenames. The other options are incorrect because - Dir /b only displays the file names without any additional information. - Dir /s displays all subdirectories and the files they contain, but not both long and short filenames. - Set Dircmd=/on /w only changes the display format of the dir command and does not specifically display both long and short filenames.
