Re: [h-e-w] Not all files displayed in directory listing

I think your second question may have led me in the right direction. As far as I can tell there is no dir.exe or dir.bat anywhere, and DIRCMD is not set. There seems to be a problem with cmdproxy.exe. The 'shell-file-name' variable is set to emacs-24.2/bin/cmdproxy.exe. Running cmdproxy.exe from the Windows command line drops me into a shell with the same problem, i.e., it won't list some files in C:\Windows\System32. I can't find any docs for cmdproxy.exe. I tried evaluating (setq explicit-shell-file-name "C:/Windows/System32/cmd.exe"), which switched the shell to cmd.exe instead of cmdproxy.exe, but this did not fix the problem.

You'd have to investigate what's going on on your system. Some
directions to look into:

. do you have some dir.exe or dir.bat somewhere, and could it be
that it gets invoked in one of the two cases, but not the other?

. which shell is running in each case? can they be different shells?

. do you have a DIRCMD variable defined in the environment, and if
so, could it be affecting only one of the cases?
