PowerShell 3.0 and later
When you use Get-ChildItem to list files, by default, hidden files are excluded.
To include hidden files, use the –Force parameter:
PS> Get-ChildItem -Path $home -Force
To only list hidden files, use the -Hidden parameter. This parameter was added in PowerShell 3.0:
PS> Get-ChildItem -Path $home -Hidden
