Thanks for your answer.
But I'm not speeking about execute a file ... I'm using ls and not ls.exe.
It's about how we can deal with files on MS.
Here is another example. I know I can parse /etc/shells.
I want to list all shell present:
find /bin -name "*sh" -print
On MS, I need to use :
find /bin -name "*sh.exe" -print
I'm using UWin since years and I newer have to deal with this.
So, it's perhaps just a need of vacation on my side.

Yves
