Enter "D:" first, switch to D after entering the "CD cfan" command and enter the "D:\cfan" folder. Enter "dir" after "d:\cfan>" (note that there is a space following dir):

The CTRL + Enter key requires a JavaScript script to be invoked, which can be quickly submitted by the author, even if the Web page is not scripted.
