PowerShell object browser

Question

I vaguely remember a tool I used in the dark ages of PS 2.0. The best I can describe it is, you pipe an object to it, and it gives you a GUI that lets you "browse" or "explore" the object. It's sort of like Out-Gridview, but you can expand nested objects.

This is the closest I could find below. However, from the description it sounds like this Object Browser looks at Everything in the PowerShell Environment. https://web.archive.org/web/20210126090047/https://gallery.technet.microsoft.com/PowerShell-Object-Browser-847d62c1 (described here)

Does that sound familiar to anyone?

Yes, sound familiar. What is the problem/issue/question? – John K. N. Dec 15 '20 at 14:49 — John K. N., Dec 15 '20 at 14:49

Here's an article describing Show-Object, a command from the PowerShellCookbook module.

I think it's what you're looking for.
