Accessing the Environemnt from PowerShell

I am trying to access the Environment using this:

PS C:\> cd Env;

I get this error:

Set-Location : Cannot find path 'C:\Env' because it does not exist.
At line:1 char:3
+ cd <<<< Env;

PS C:\>


When I run Get_PSDrive I get

...
Env Environment
...



What Am I missing here?

TIA,

Bill

Hi bill,

Try this:

PS C:\> cd env:

You (mistakenly?) wrote a semicolon instead of a colon.
