PowerShell supports not just the file system, so you can set the current path to a different provider (Set-Location). Here is a trick that always gets you the current file system location no matter which provider is currently active:
PS C:\> cd hkcu:\ PS HKCU:\> $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path CurrentLocation CurrentFileSystemLocation --------------- ------------------------- HKCU:\ C:\ PS HKCU:\> $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path.CurrentFileSystemLocation Path ---- C:\ PS HKCU:\> $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path.CurrentFileSystemLocation.Path C:\
Throughout this month, we'd like to point you to two awesome community-driven global PowerShell events taking place this year:
Europe: April 20-22: 3-day PowerShell Conference EU in Hannover, Germany, with more than 30+ speakers including Jeffrey Snover and Bruce Payette, and 60+ sessions (www.psconf.eu).
Asia: October 21-22: 2-day PowerShell Conference Asia in Singapore. Watch latest annoncements at www.psconf.asia
Both events have limited seats available so you may want to register early.
