Windows 10: dir Difficulties

I am seeking to sort files with dir.

Creation date and time is my most primary interest.

This has been my primary guide.
MS-DOS dir command help

I have tried a number of these commands in Powershell and Admin Powershell

The simple one element wild card ones work okay. Ex
dir *.exe

All the others seem to use methods and techniques beyond my current skill level.

First. I do not understand this statement.
Options listed below may be preset in the DIRCMD environment variable. To override preset options, prefix any switch with - (hyphen), for example, "/-W".
A description and example might help,


The slash operator returns errors that I do not know how to fix. Ex
PS G:\> dir /b
dir : Cannot find path 'G:\b' because it does not exist.

Why does PS reverse the direction of the slash?

Any guidance, clearer examples,references,tutorials...will be appreciated.

Thanks

Thinking DIR-655.

So I have a few nodes that I need traffic routed to in my home. This includes wireless, USB(convenient), and of course hard wire routed main station.

I am running a broadband connection neighborhood coaxial to a Motorola DOCSIS 3.0 modem.




To the point of the topic.

I need some suggestions.
Needs:
1GB ports x4 (10/100/1000)
USB
802.11b/g/"n draft"
2 channels for streaming HD
-basically my needs are standard and I want a solid option.

Does not have to have playable firmware. Just legit.

I was looking at the D-Link DIR-655

Any Cisco/Linksys or other suggestions?

 

DIR list to text list folders but not what is in them.


In a Command Prompt window type dir /? [note the space] to get a list of switches you can use. I frequently use dir /o/s>dir.txt to get an Organized list of files and subFolders redirected to a dir.txt file in that Folder. Leave off the >dir.txt is only wanting a list on the screen but could use /p to pause it a screenful at a time.

Is there a way with DIR command line via CMD or power shell to list the contents of a directory but exclude the contents of the folders and generate a a bare list(location name only). Just list the files and folders?
