In this script, I can get the date for shortcuts, but is in YYYYMMDD (and time) format. I'm going for MM/dd/yyyy. I've tried several suggestions from the web, but all result in errors, maybe because of the type of fields. Check the creation, last modified, and install date. If you remove my date format attempts, the script runs fine. Any ideas will be appreciated.
$strComputer = "."
$colItems = get-wmiobject -class "Win32_ShortcutFile" -namespace "root\CIMV2" `
-computername $strComputer
foreach ($objItem in $colItems) {
