# View Files and Folders on Windows devices

The following PowerShell script helps the IT Admins to get the list of files and folders on their managed Windows devices.

1. Create a file on your desktop, for example, **list_of_files_folders.ps1** and open it in a text editor like notepad++
2. Copy the contents below to the file or click [here](https://cdn.document360.io/175c0eac-012f-4410-bdc5-ac60794f82d8/Images/Documentation/list%20of%20Files%20and%20folders.ps1) to download the file.
  1. Enter the path of the folder which you want the list of all files and/or folders in the script.

```powershell
Get-ChildItem -Path [Specify path]
```

For example,

```powershell
Get-ChildItem -Path "C:\Users\Admin\Desktop"
```

This command lists all the files and directories present in the “Desktop” folder.
