followed by a colon ( : ). For example, the following command is used to list the environment variables in
the Env drive that start with the word User :

[PS] C:\ > cd HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services
[PS] HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services >
To navigate from any of the non - file drives back to a file drive, simply type the drive letter followed by a
colon.
