How to get a list of certificate in a certificate store in Windows PowerShell?

The easiest way to get a list of certificates in a certificate store with Windows PowerShell is to use the "dir" command with the "Cert:" path name.

The following example lists all certificates in the "Disallowed" certificate store:

PS C:\fyicenter> cd Cert:
PS Cert:\> cd localmachine
PS Cert:\localmachine> cd disallowed
PS Cert:\localmachine\disallowed> dir

    Directory: Microsoft.PowerShell.Security\Certificate::localmachine\disallowed
