Removing -Path item from Get-ChildItem Cmdlet in powershell

How to remove path when I type ls in PowerShell. I would like formatting of other items to stay the same, (Mode, LastWriteTime, Length, Name). Just to remove line Directory C:\. I have been playing around and I'm able to remove it, but then can't get formatting of other items right.

The formatting you see on the screen is determined by the Format.ps1xml file.

The format changes when you use Select-Object and select specific properties because you've change the object type (if you do a get-type() you'll see it's now a PSSelectedObject or PSCustomObject), and that formatting is no longer applied.

I think the easiest way to get what you're after may be to override the Format.ps1xml file with a new entry that doesn't display the directory name.
