PSCustomDrives

This PowerShell provides no functions to be used. It will provides a easy way to have persistent PSDrives mapped.

Configuration

To use this module, you need to create a psdrives.txt file at your home folder ($Env:USERPROFILE\psdrives.txt). Each line represents a drive to be mapped: each one will be splitted at first non-black character, using first term as PSDrive name, and second one as paths

Example:

win    C:\Windows
progf  C:\Program Files

It will map:

• win: to C:\Windows
• progf to C:\Program Files

PSCustomDrives will also always creating a mapping named Modules to the directory in which modules are being installed.

Quick command

It's also possible to execute a quick command, use the mapped folder as working directory, without actually changing the current one. You just need to provide the command line as an argument.

Example: prof: Get-ChildItem

If you need more complexes command, that would require special char (such as |), you can use a ScriptBlock.

Example: prof: { Get-ChildItem | Out-File contents.txt }

Installing

Windows 10 users:

Install-Module PSCustomDrives -Scope CurrentUser

Otherwise, if you have PsGet installed:

Install-Module PSCustomDrives

Or you can install it manually coping PSCustomDrives.psm1 to your modules folder (e.g. $Env:USERPROFILE\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Modules\PSCustomDrives\)

After installed, you will need to explicit load this module to have PSDrives mapped:

Import-Module PSCustomDrives

It's recommended to put this command to your profile file ($PROFILE).
