Win2K "secret weapon" file version viewing tool

In the support tools of Windows 2000 Professional, there are quite a few tools that belong to the query information. Filever.exe is one of them. This is a command line based tool for viewing file versions. The range that it can view includes local computers and remote computers. You can view individual files as well as view directory structure information. The main types of files that can be viewed are executable files (.EXE) and dynamic link library files (.DLL).

Detailed syntax used:

Command parameter drive path file name

filever [/s] [/v] [/e] [/x] [/b] [/a ] [/d] [[drive:] [path] [filename]]

Meaning of the parameter:

/s

Display the specified directory and the directory Files in all subdirectories.

/v

Lists all available version information for this file.

/e

Only information about executable files is listed.

/x

For non-8.3 format file names (mainly long file names), display them as short file names.

/b

Use the bare format (that is, the list of directories that do not display files, only the file name).

/a

Specifies file attributes that are not displayed.

/d

Specifies that the date and time properties of the file are not displayed.

Actual Verification Report:

This tool can only be run on the command line. It is required to open the command console of windows2000 in advance: Cmd.exe. This has been introduced before. In the Cmd.exe window, the prompt cursor enters the corresponding command, and the corresponding information can be displayed.

Below is the case where I use the /s parameter of the command on my own machine to display the file information in the c:temp directory:
