Do not use this type of cable to feed a 120/240V dryer outlet. The outlet is ungrounded, and the third conductor is neutral not ground. Your ground wire must be sheathed by code. You cannot use the bare neutral conductor as ground. Diagram Did Not Come Through. You Have a 3 Prong Connector. The Prong On The Bottom By Its Self Connect The Bare Wire. That Is What Was # 3 Connect The Others To The Two Prongs Next To Each Other. Hope This Makes Some Sense (1) (2) (3) Connect White To (1), Connect Black To (2) Bare (3) Good Luck

How do you rewire an outlet to work independently and not by a light switch?
Most switched outlets have one half that's hot all the time. If that's the case it will be as easy as changeing the outlet. In the center of each side of the outlet there is a small piece of copper connecting the two screws. Look and see if the copper piece is broken on the hot side, if it is then replace the outlet using the constant hot. Cap off the unused wire from the switch. If both sides of the outlet are switched then you can remove the two wires from the switch and tie them together. then either replace the switch and have a dummy or put on a blank cover. You should be all set.

Do you wire a gfci outlet differently?
No, except that you insert the wires into the holes on the back of the outlet. The power in connects to the LINE side of the outlet and power out connects to the LOAD side of the outlet. This is clearly marked on the back of the outlet. This will not only protect the outlet with the GFCI installed but all outlets receiving their power from that GFCI. If you do not want to protect the outlets receiving power from the outlet then connect that outgoing wire to the LINE side also. But know that only the outlet with the GFCI will be protected and all other outlets will not be GFCI protected.
