Get-PSDrive

Short description
Gets drives in the current session.

Syntax


Description
The Get-PSDrive cmdlet gets the drives in the current session. You can get a particular drive or all drives in the 
session.


Get-PSDrive gets the following types of drives:


-- Windows logical drives on the computer, including drives mapped to network shares.


-- Drives exposed by Windows PowerShell providers (such as the Certificate:, Function:, and Alias: drives) and the 
HKLM: and HKCU: drives that are exposed by the Windows PowerShell Registry provider.


-- Session-specified temporary drives and persistent mapped network drives that you create by using the 
New-PSDrivecmdlet.


Beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, the Persist parameter of the New-PSDrive cmdlet can create mapped network drives 
that are saved on the local computer and are available in other sessions. For more information, see New-PSDrive.


Also, beginning in Windows PowerShell 3.0, when an external drive is connected to the computer, Windows PowerShell 
automatically adds a PSDrive to the file system that represents the new drive. You do not need to restart Windows 
PowerShell. Similarly, when an external drive is disconnected from the computer, Windows PowerShell automatically 
deletes the PSDrive that represents the removed drive.
