In the registry provider, PowerShell treats registry keys as items and key values as properties of those items. To get the properties of an item, use the GetItemProperty cmdlet. The GetItemProperty cmdlet has the standard alias, gp.

Example 181 lists all property values associated with that specific key. To retrieve the value of a specific item, access it as though you would access a property on a .NET object, or anywhere else in PowerShell:

PS >$item = GetItemProperty . PS >$item.TaskSwitchXp d:\lee\tools\TaskSwitchXP.exe

If you want to do this all at once, the command looks like:

PS >$runKey = "HKCU:\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run" PS >(GetItemProperty $runKey).TaskSwitchXp d:\lee\tools\TaskSwitchXP.exe
