EXAMPLE 1
pop-location
This command changes your location to the location most recently added to the current stack.
EXAMPLE 2
pop-location -stackname Stack2
This command changes your location to the location most recently added to the Stack2 stack.
EXAMPLE 3
pushd HKLM:\Software\Microsoft\PowerShell
pushd Cert:\LocalMachine\TrustedPublisher
popd
popd
These commands use the Push-Locationand Pop-Location cmdlets to move between locations supported by different Windows PowerShell providers. The commands use the "pushd" alias for Push-Location and the "popd" alias for Pop-Location.
The first command pushes the current file system location onto the stack and moves to the HKLM drive supported by the Windows PowerShell Registry provider. The second command pushes the registry location onto the stack and moves to a location supported by the Windows PowerShell certificate provider.
The last two commands pop those locations off of the stack. The first "Popd" returns to the Registry drive and the second returns to the file system drive.
