How to create ls in windows command prompt?

I want to use ls in windows command prompt and make it run the dir command.

How can I do that?

You can solve this question with one simple command:

echo @dir %* > %systemroot%\system32\ls.bat

Make sure you run cmd.exe as admin first if you are on vista and up

You could:

create a batch file called ls.bat and have it contain the dir command only
add the directory where the ls.bat file exists to your PATH environment variable

You could then execute ls from a command prompt.
