How Many Files and Folders on my PC ?

Winkey + X
Run
Enter C:\
This PC>Manage>Windows C: panel comes up.
Go to list in R/H pane.

Keep Shift Key pressed down and click every item listed - all go blue highlight.

Place cursor in highlighted area and right click.
Select Properties.
Properties panel comes up and will calculate how many files and folders
are present on your PC. When the count stops - that is it !

Re: How Many Files and Folders on my PC ?

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.

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

A virus scan will include these in its report.

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.
