does it have to be powershell? without installing powershell, you can use vbscript

Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FilesyStemObject")
myFolder="c:"
Set objFolder = objFSO.GetFolder(myFolder)
GoSubFolders objFolder

Sub GoSubFolders (objDIR)
  If objDIR <> "System Volume Information" Then
    MainSub objDIR
    For Each eFolder in objDIR.SubFolders
      GoSubFolders eFolder
    Next
  End If
  
End Sub

Sub MainSub (objDIR)
  For Each efile in objDIR.Files
    WScript.Echo "File ", eFile, "is a ", eFile.Type
  Next
End Sub

save it as .vbs extension, type cscript myscript.vbs

Can this be done recursively? In other words, can I test-path for all files in the path and every subdirectory of the path?

btw, thanks for a great blog.
