There used to be several shareware programs that would do this and Norton
Utilities 6.0 had a program called DS (I think) that also did this.  But
these programs do not work with long file names under Windows 95 and I
don't know of any current program that does this.

What problem are you trying to solve by doing this?  I don't think there
are any more programs to do this because it became unnecessary and
dangerous to use under Windows 95.  MS-DOS allows you to use a SET command
in your AUTOEXEC which defines the default options used by the DIR command.
 For example, use the command SET DIRCMD=/OGN in your autoexec or at a
command line to cause DIR to show files sorted by name with directories
listed first  when you use the DIR command with no switches ... the same
result as the command DIR /OGN.  Within Windows 95, you can make Windows
Explorer sort its file list in several different ways including by name or
extension.
