The path cmdlets (*-path) manipulate path names and return the names in a concise format that all Windows PowerShell providers can interpret. They are designed for use in programs and scripts where you want to display all or part of a path name in a particular format. Use them like you would use Dirname, Normpath, Realpath, Join, or other path manipulators.
You can use the path cmdlets with several providers, including the FileSystem, Registry, and Certificate providers.
When specifying multiple values for a parameter, use commas to separate the values. For example, "<parameter-name> <value1>, <value2>".
EXAMPLE 1
convert-path ~
This command expands the current working directory.
EXAMPLE 2
convert-path HKLM:\software\microsoft
This command converts the Windows PowerShell provider path to a standard registry path.
