    Description
    ———–
    These commands use the Push-Location and 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 the stack. The first “popd” command returns to the Registry: drive, and the second command returns to the file system drive.
