PathUtilities Module

This is a quick module I made to make managing the PATH environment variable easier, especially when dealing with constant updates or bad MSI installers that duplicate entries. Feel free to use it.

How to Import the Module

Import-Module 'C:\Users\Tony\YourScripts\Modules\PathUtilities\PathUtilities.psd1'

How to Permanently Import the Module

  1. Open your PowerShell profile for editing:

    notepad $Profile

  2. Add the following line to your profile file:

    Import-Module 'C:\Users\Tony\YourScripts\Modules\PathUtilities\PathUtilities.psd1'

  3. Save the profile file and restart PowerShell.

Features of PathUtilities Module
