To connect to the registry, we can list our possible choices using get-psdrive. The output will be similar to the below:
Name Used (GB) Free (GB) Provider Root
—- ——— ——— ——– —-
Alias Alias

D 5.81 FileSystem D:
E 3.64 FileSystem E:
Env Environment
Function Function
HKCU Registry HKEY_CURRENT_USER
HKLM Registry HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE
Variable Variable
WSMan WSMan
To mount the registry as a drive enter the command set-location: for example
set-location HKCU:
Note the colon at the end of the command.
You can then list the various items by using ls or Get-ChildItem. Setting the drive to the environment (Set-Location Env:) and then using Get-ChildItem lists all of the environment settings for the system
