Hi,

I am trying to query that registry value: 

Get-ChildItem "hklm:\SYSTEM\ControlSet001\Control\Class" -Recurse -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | % {Get-ItemProperty $_.pspath} -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue | ? {$_.*EEE} -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue

My issue is the property name is: *EEE so my command is not returning the value. Just failing. How may I workaround that issue?

Thanks

    Have you tried protecting the property name?

    Like this: $_.'*EEE'
