ModifyUserPath

This PowerShell script, ModifyUserPath.ps1, is designed to add or remove a specified directory to/from the user's PATH environment variable in PowerShell 7.

Functionality

  • By default, the script adds a 'Bin' directory ($HOME\Bin) to the PATH.
  • Optionally, a custom path can be specified as a command line argument.
  • A switch parameter is provided to remove the specified path from the PATH.

Usage

  1. To add the default 'Bin' directory in the user's home to the PATH:

    .\ModifyUserPath.ps1

  2. To add a custom path:

    .\ModifyUserPath.ps1 -PathToModify "C:\Your\Custom\Path"

  3. To remove the default 'Bin' directory from the PATH:

    .\ModifyUserPath.ps1 -Remove

  4. To remove a custom path:

    .\ModifyUserPath.ps1 -PathToModify "C:\Your\Custom\Path" -Remove

Requirements

  • PowerShell 7 or higher.

Note

  • Ensure that the custom path provided is valid and correctly formatted.
  • This script modifies the user's PATH environment variable and should be used with understanding of the implications.
