Quicker way;

Open Powershell

- to count only files (remember to change C:\ to the path you want or keep as C:\ to count everything on that drive)
Get-ChildItem C:\ -Recurse -File | Measure-Object | %{$_.Count}

- to count only folders (again, change C:\)
Get-ChildItem C:\ -Recurse -Directory | Measure-Object | %{$_.Count}

- to count both files and folders (change C:\ if you want to)
Get-ChildItem C:\ -Recurse | Measure-Object | %{$_.Count}

I'm glad you're learning - don't worry about whether or not others think it's useful. Whatever you learn in computing can give you a better understanding of how something else works. You found a new menu, a new way of doing something, a new function you didn't know existed - whatever it is, it's new to you and that's great! :)

Because it tells you how many files and folders you have. :p:

Not really that useful to most people, but might be to someone.

A virus scan will include these in its report.

Exactly.

What Virus Software tells you how many files and folders you have in total ?

All the ones Ive ever used tell you how many files it scanned (only) and never mention folders.
