I try to run the following cmdlets
PS C:\Windows\system32> get-alias | convertto-html > aliases.html
Of course, that would produce a local aliases.html file at C:\Windows\System32
I can see the file in Windows Explorer:
But surprisingly, I cannot open it in IE,either through the File|Open, dragging the file into address bar, or the following cmdlet:
PS C:\Windows\system32> invoke-item aliases.html
I got an error message in IE: This page can’t be displayed.
In Chrome, I got: This webpage is not found. No webpage was found for the web address: file:///C:/Windows/System32/aliases.html
But if I save the file to my own folder, everything works fine. So it is a security issue.
Solution:
Save the file to your own working folder, not to the system folder.
