# Get-Help

# Get-Children

Gets items in a specified location. To list the folders in my drive C, I will run
the command below:

`Get-ChildItem c:\`

This will list all the top-level folders. To list all files, folders include sub-folders use the `-Recurse` parameter.

# Copy-Item and Move-Item

You could use the __Get-ChildItem__ Cmdlet to list items in a folder, then pipe
the result to __Copy-Item__ Cmdlet to copy the items to a new location. The
command below will do the job:

`Get-ChildItem C:\Dropbox | Copy-Item -Destination C:\NewFolder`

The above PowerShell command will only copy the top-level folders and
files - it will NOT copy sub-folders and files. To copy all files and folders
including sub-folders, include the -Recurse parameter in the __Get-ChildItem__
command as shown below:

`Get-ChildItem C:\Dropbox -Recurse | Copy-Item -Destination C:\NewFolder`

While the __Copy-Item__ Cmdlet copies items from one location to another the
__Move-Item__ Cmdlet moves the item.

# RemoveItem

# NewItem

__New-Item__ can be used to create files, folders and registry keys and entries. The command below creates a text
file called weekly_file.txt in c:\logfiles folder:
`New-Item -Path c:\logfiles -Name weekly_file.tx`
