Use Vista's DIR command to display alternate data streams
People who have been playing around with Alternate Data Streams (ADS) - otherwise known as a fork - in NTFS will be pleased with this little though useful addition to Vista's DIR command:
C:\Users\Bart\Documents\My Received Files>dir *.txt /R
Volume in drive C has no label.
Volume Serial Number is F046-2BE9
Directory of C:\Users\Bart\Documents\My Received Files
06/29/2006 01:55 PM 3,944 out.txt
26 out.txt:Zone.Identifier:$DATA
1 File(s) 3,944 bytes
0 Dir(s) 4,023,570,432 bytes free
In the listing above, you can clearly see the $DATA stream as well as the Zone.Identifier stream used by the Attachment Execution Service (introduced in XP SP2 and W2K3 SP1), which I've blogged about previously.
