PoshTip #36 – How To List All Your Windows Shares?

One of the solutions is to open “Computer Management” and navigate to:

System Tools – > Shared Folders -> Shares.

But that’s really boring! Please use PowerShell and the Get-WmiObject cmdlet to list your Windows Shares on your Windows machine:

PS > Get-WmiObject -Query "SELECT Name, Path FROM Win32_Share" | Format-Table Name, Path

Name    Path
----    ----
ADMIN$  C:\WINDOWS
C$      C:\
Data    D:\Data
IPC$
Tips    G:\Tips
Drop    F:\Drop
