PowerTip: Use the Force Switch in PowerShell

Doctor Scripto

Summary: Many times Windows PowerShell cmdlets display additional information when using the Force switch.

 How can I display hidden and system files when using Windows PowerShell?

          Use the Get-Item or Get-ChildItem cmdlet and use the Force switch—this works with other cmdlets as well.

                           Get-ChildItem -force
