When you browse the file system with Get-ChildItem, you may stumble across folders that you have no access to view. If you’d like to keep a log of all the folders that raised errors, try this approach:
$result = Get-ChildItem -Path c:\Windows -Filter *.ps1 -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue -ErrorVariable abcd Write-Warning 'Unable to access these folders:' Write-Warning ($abcd.TargetObject -join "`r`n")
The trick is to hide all errors (-ErrorAction SilentlyContinue) but save the errors to a variable (-ErrorVariable abcd).
