To find out the path your PowerShell is currently using, simply run Get-Location:
PS> Get-Location Path ---- C:\Users\tobwe
However, the current path does not necessarily point to a files system location. If you changed location to the registry, for example, it looks like this:
PS> cd hkcu:\ PS> Get-Location Path ---- HKCU:\
If you need to know the current file system path PowerShell uses, regardless of the current provider you are using, try this:
PS> $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path CurrentLocation CurrentFileSystemLocation --------------- ------------------------- HKCU:\ C:\Users\tobwe PS> $ExecutionContext.SessionState.Path.CurrentFileSystemLocation Path ---- C:\Users\tobwe PS> Get-Location Path ---- HKCU:\
CurrentFileSystemLocation always returns the current location in the file system, which may be different from what Get-Location returns.
