Vista - How to see and change the value of (Default) in a registry key

I love powershell's ability to deal with the registry. I love that I can
create a new key (HKLM:\Software\Classes\Folder\Shell\Command Prompt for
example). The challenge I can't seem to figure out is that Get-Childitem
doesn't show the "(Default)" item that gets created automatically. I need to
set the value of this item (to "Command Prompt Here" for example). How do
you do that?

set-itemproperty -path 'your path' -name '(Default)' -value 'your value'
should do the trick:

PS HKCU:\> mkdir test


Hive: Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER

SKC VC Name Property
--- -- ---- --------
0 0 test {}


PS HKCU:\> get-itemproperty test
PS HKCU:\> set-itemproperty -path test -name '(Default)' -value 'some value'
PS HKCU:\> get-itemproperty test


PSPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER\test
PSParentPath : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry::HKEY_CURRENT_USER
PSChildName : test
PSDrive : HKCU
PSProvider : Microsoft.PowerShell.Core\Registry
(default) : some value



PS HKCU:\>
