Ideas drive or drive is a connection to a data store.
Each bus driver uses a single provider to connect to a data store.
Libya's drive has all the capabilities of the provider that is used to make the connection drives and
windows Power Shell are identified by names not only by single actors although a name can consist of
just one letter.
For example the Dr HQ is next to the keep underscore current underscore user registry high single letter
drive.
Names typically connect to a file system driver for example drive C connects to the physical drive of
your computer to create a new connection that you Pia's drive command.
You must specify a unique drive name the root location for the new drive and the provider that will
be used to make the connection.
Depending on the capabilities of the provider You may also specify alternative credentials and other
options.
Windows power show always starts a new session with the same drive.
They are registered right HQ element HQ see your local machine and current user local disk drive sigils
see Windows Spolar self-storage drives.
Wearables function and Alias ws management settings drive environmental variables drive or in of abbreviation
for it and certificate store drive or cert.
You can always see a list of drives by running and get Does Piers drive command.
Please know the Dr names do not include the column drive names.
Examples include variable and Ls.
However when you want to refer to a drive for the path and close the column for example variable.
Column refers to the drive variable just as Colon refers to drive C commands like new drive require
a driver name do not include to call on in the drive name when you those commands.
Many administrators already know commands to manage a file system.
COME ON COME ON SOME good deal move.
Ram r.m D or Dell cockpit and killdeer and CD in windows power shell.
These commands are provided as Elissa's to Windows power shell command let's because the command Lat's
are not exact duplicate of the original commands.
This TX is different for example instead of running dir slash as to obtain a directory listing that
includes subdirectories.
You can get child diatom does recurse to obtain a directory listing that includes sub subfolder recursion.
The parameters are the same whether you decide to use the command name or the alias.
That means that you can run dir dash records but not DIR Slessor slash as because Windows partial accepts
forwards or backwards slash other paths separator dir slash as is interpreted by the shell as display
a directory listing of the folder named as.
Unless that folder exists.
You will see an error when you run that came out.
Notice that the windows power shall come and let names are all used in generic nouns like item and Item
property.
That is because the command letters are intended to work with any drive connected by use in any provider
in the file system and it might be a file or a folder in the registry and it might be a key or a set
in in the certificate store and I might be a folder or a certificate instead of having seperate commands
for all those items.
Microsoft chose to create a single set of commands that uses generic nouns so how the file system is
like all the data stores.
Most administrators can answer the question.
What command would you want to delete a file that is named colon backslash.
Test that text.
The answer is Del Seacole on backslash text that text you or remove item see text or text it vendors
Parshall's store of its own variables in a drive named wearable with that piece of information.
What command would you run to delete a variable named X..
For example.
The answer is the variable colon backslash X without spaces because the variables storage is made to
resemble a disk drive.
You manage it by using the same commands you were to use with a disk drive.
You can even delete some of Windows powar shells built in wearables.
Detection is not and over time you start to move into special session that session creates the same
default set of variables with the same default values.
So if you accidentally delete a built in variable just close the session and open a new one when you
use commands that have the item child item and Item property nouns will typically specify a path to
tell the command that item or what item or right.
You want to manipulate.
Most of those commands have two parameters for path.
The first one is path.
Typically it interprets the asterisk and the question mark as wildcard characters.
In other words the path asterisk that text refers to all files and in Dot takes two.
This approach works correctly in the file system because the file system does not allow item names to
contain the character asterisk or question mark.
The second parameter is literal path.
It treats all characters as literals and does not interpret Anik characters as a wild card.
Their literal path asterisk that takes two means the item named asterisk takes two.
This approach is useful in Dryas where asterisk and question mark are allowed in item names such as
in the registry.
Now some words about Volkan reads items and item properties these drives contain items and item have
item properties.
Run get command.
There's an item Komarr child item to see a list of commands that Roker's items items are things such
as files folders registry keys certificates and wearables.
Run get command the noun Item property to see a list of commands that work with item properties item
properties are things such as registry settings item properties typically have a name enter value the
items in different drives behave differently.
For example in a file system drive a file is an item the file has content and with simple text files
you can display that content by you then get content command to change the content by using content
command files also have properties such as they are names.
And last right time in the drive HGC you items are registry keys.
List registry keys can obtain other keys and can have the wrong item properties for example so you call
and that's less volatile environment has item properties named Lagon Sorber use or domain home path
and so on that key also contains other registry key is that have their own item properties.
Use get out improper to command and Item property to Volcker's item properties.
Now let's take a look at some examples to see how to vote with bills drives.
Items and item properties.
So to change to see call and back slash location just type CDC call and backslash to map and you tempera
a drive named windshear to see colon backslash Windows folder.
Type the following command new Pia's drive name when dir there's a route the route will be on less Windows
drive folder sorry and this provider will be file system to display a directory listing of drive.
When do you just type.
Dear vendor call calling to create a new registry key named HQ you call backslash software backslash
classroom type new item despatchers HQ so you can Bixler software Desch name classroom.
Now let's add an item property name test having the value Vonne to use software classroom to do that
you have to type new item property does pass it will be HGC you call on backslash software backslash
class room and the name will be a test and it'll have.
Well you want to display a directory listing all Viscusi you software classroom you just type dir and
the registry key you want to view to have a system.
In our case is a Compact Flash software backslash classroom.
