- 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!
