WQL to find files in a directory

Question

How do you find files inside directories with WMI Query Language?

This is what I have so far:

select * from Cim_DataFile
 where path = "\\\\C:\\Users\\name\\"

The query returns no results.

Any help is much appreciated.

Answer 1

You must remove the drive of the Path property and specify that value in the Drive property, so rewrote your WQL sentence to

SELECT * from Cim_DataFile where path = "\\Users\\name\\" and Drive="C:"
