Frequency counts of system file extensions for Windows 7 machine

Powershell script to enumerate all system extensions from c:\windows


#get system file type counts
$sysdir= "C:\Windows"
$cntsfile= $env:USERPROFILE+"\Win7SystemFileExtsCnt.txt"

try{
Get-Childitem $sysdir -Recurse  -ErrorAction Ignore |
     WHERE { -NOT $_.PSIsContainer } | 
        Group Extension -NoElement | 
            Sort Count -Desc | Out-File $cntsfile
} catch {}

#get computers age as of last update
$OS = Get-WmiObject -Class Win32_OperatingSystem 
$InstalledDate = $OS.ConvertToDateTime($OS.InstallDate) 
$Span = [datetime]::Now - $InstalledDate
$age = New-Object DateTime -ArgumentList $Span.Ticks
Write "Computer's age is:  $($age.Year -1) Years $($age.Month -1) Months $($age.Day) days old" | Add-Content $cntsfile

Results of system extensions frequency counts (I added % after)
