Is there any way -- any way at all -- to change the layout of the showing of files, directories, dates, times, etc., when you use a command like 'dir' ?

I ask this because I find the layout of it unpleasant to the eye. I prefer to have files and directories on the left like it was in DOS iirc, and the rest on the right. While both manners -- or whatever logical manner -- would be logical, the current one confuses.

Try:

DIR /B

Not really what I looked for, but I guess it's alright. Checked out with /? and it looks like what I want isn't there. Thanks anyway :)
