New PSDrives

Once you've created a new PSDrive in a PowerShell session, how do you get it
to exist beyond that session?

The corollary to Marco's statement is that there is not an option to
make the drives persist like a mapped network drive.

Re: New PSDrives

in addition to last 2 answers, to map a normal persistant networkdrive from
PowerShell you can do this :

(new-object -com
wscript.network).MapNetworkDrive("z:","\\localhost\Posh",$true)

or just use the NET use command

net use Y: \\localhost\PoSH /PERSISTENT:Yes

they aso will be added a PsDrives :

get-psdrive

PS C:\Users\mvanorsouw> z:
PS Z:\> dir


Directory: Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\FileSystem::Z:\

only you are limited to the 26 driveletters this way.
