Did you know that you can add additional registry hives to your PowerShell drives? No? Then I will show you now how to do that and how to access HKCC with PowerShell. Let’s get started.
Determine PS Drives
Get-PSDrive display all built-in PowerShell Drives.
Get-PSDrive
Some registry hives are missing here. Only HKCU and HKLM are present by default.
Add HKCC (HKey Current Config)
For adding additional drives, all we need to know is how to access them. In this example I use the registry:: statement to access HKCC to add it as a PowerShell drive.
New-PSDrive `
-Name HKCC `
-Root 'registry::HKEY_CURRENT_CONFIG' `
-PSProvider Registry
After all, it’s there and accessible.
Set-Location hkcc:
Have fun accessing the values of the HKCC Hive via PowerShell!

It’s not as clear as you think. Not only is there no official best practice in the docs, the community is also mostly in favor of splatting instead of backticks.

Regardless if you prefer backticks or splatting, chopping up a cmdlet with 3 measly parameters with backticks is NOT good practice. That should be one line.

Those back ticks do a lot of favour. They make the code more readable.

Hey have a look at splits
Those back ticks are doing you zero favours
And probably not even needed in this case
