the current working location should be used. Because the working di rectory is C:\Windows, the drive root is the C: drive. Because the tec hdocs directory is located off the root, you need to specify only the back slash.
You can achieve the same results by using the f
ollowing command:
Get-ChildItem c:\techdocs
Regardless of whether you use a fully qualified
path name or a relative path name, a path name is important not only be cause it locates an item but also because it uniquely identifies the ite m even if that item shares the same name as another item in a diffe rent container.
For instance, suppose that you have two files t
hat are each named Results.txt. The first file is in a directory n amed C:\Techdocs\Jan, and the second file is in a directory named C:\ Techdocs\Feb. The path name for the first file (C:\Techdocs\Jan\Result s.txt) and the path name for the second file (C:\Techdocs\Feb\Results.tx t) allow you to clearly distinguish between the two files.
