List Special Folders

by  bigoldbulldog  Posted    (Edited  )
Here's how to see special folders
Code:
# list special folders
[environment+specialfolder]::GetNames([environment+specialfolder])

# list specialfolders with folder identifier number - formatted for hex too!
[environment+specialfolder]::GetNames([environment+specialfolder]) | select @{e={[int][environment+specialfolder]$_}; n='Int'},@{e={[environment]::GetFolderPath($_)};n='Path'} | ft @{e={$_.int};f='x';l='Hex'},* -auto

# Clear Recent documents
Get-ChildItem $([environment]::GetFolderPath('Recent')) | Remove-Item
