GetFiles does not return file names, rather it returns either relative or absolute filepaths, depending on the form of the directory specification given. For example, assume the calling process has a working directory of "C:\TEMP" and that "C:\TEMP" contains two files: "A.Dat" and "B.Dat".

GetFiles("C:\\TEMP") will return:

"C:\TEMP\A.Dat"

"C:\TEMP\B.Dat"

GetFiles("C:") will return:

"C:A.Dat"

"C:B.Dat"

GetFiles(".") will return:

".\A.Dat"

".\B.Dat"

.SYNOPSIS
    This script displays the size of a folder
.DESCRIPTION
    This script is a rewrite of an MSDN sample. It 
    uses System.IO namespace to determine the size
    of a folder and its subfolders, then displays it.
    Note that the Get-DirSize function is recursive!
