PowerShell issue?

Question

I am currently studying Powershell and in the book I am using it gives me this command to run........PS Cert:>GCI -Recurse > C:\a.txt; notepad.exe a.txt.....yet when I run this command the file opens up and it is blank. A little help please.

Answer 1

Running

Get-ChildItem -Recurse Cert: | Out-File -FilePath C:\a.txt
notepad C:\a.txt

should list the certificates in the personal certificate store, save the output to a.txt, and open the file in Notepad. If the file is still empty, it may indicate that there are no items in the Cert: drive or that there is an issue with accessing the certificate store.
