    Cannot dir in My Documents folder from a command line


    I am the owner of My Documents, and I have Full Control. I can use Windows Explorer to navigate inside this folder, but whether I use Command Prompt or Powershell, I cannot use the dir command. Command Prompt says "File Not Found." PowerShell gives a long error message that begins with PermissionDenied. The FullyQualifiedErrorId begins with "DirUnauthorizedAccessError" and ends with "GetChildItemCommand." Since I need to use posh-git, I need the PowerShell command line to actually work.

    :)

    GPU-Z what command line parameter ?

    Suggestion: /? (-?) and /help (-help) command-line arguments to show a list of all possible arguments in a small window. *Smile Cannot dir in My Documents folder from a command line :)
     
  3. DIR list to text list folders but not what is in them.


    Is there a way with DIR command line via CMD or power shell to list the contents of a directory but exclude the contents of the folders and generate a a bare list(location name only). Just list the files and folders?
