    Get-ChildItem doesn't work properly on Registry Provider

    When i Invoke this Command on a german XP with Powershell V2 CTP3

    Get-ChildItem HKLM: -recurse -include Powershell

    I get this erros:

    Get-ChildItem : Der angeforderte Registrierungszugriff ist unzulässig.
    At line:1 char:14

    Without the -Include Parameter everything works fine....

    try -ea 0 (this means ErrorAction=silentlycontinue) switch in
    Get-ChildItem. The problem is that -Recurse tryies to find PowerShell key in
    every parent key, however you haven't read permissions on some keys (such
    HKLM\SAM).

    Get-ChildItem HKLM: -recurse -include Powershell -ea 0
