Hello,
I think you all know that, but PowerShell gives us a nice way to explore registry :
If you have a look at Get-PSDrive :
You’ll see that you have two drive dedicated to registry : HKCU and HKLM, for “Current User” and “Local Machine” respectively.
Now, let’s have a look at “RegEdit.exe” :
There are a lot more hives than just the two available in the PSDrive. You can mount a new PSDrive pointing to another hive :
New-PSDrive -Name HKUsers -PSProvider Registry -Root HKEY_USERS
Sure you can add it to your profile to create the PSDrive at each PowerShell.exe start, but, you have an alternative :
You can force the use of the registry provider to browse anywhere in the registry.
