    In what context? 

    # get just directories
Get-ChildItem c:\junk -Dir
 OR
Get-ChildItem c:\junk | Where-Object {$_.PsIsContainer}


# get just files
Get-ChildItem c:\junk -File
 OR
Get-ChildItem c:\junk | Where-Object {-Not $_.PsIsContainer}

    Hi HarveyLewis-9057,

    Powershell can be used to identify folders and files and their properties:

    Get-ChildItem -Path C:\Test -Name
    Get-ItemProperty C:\Test\Weather.xls | Format-List

    The following article may be of use for finding out the required parameters:
