I have multiple volumes (as nearly everybody nowadays): on Windows they end up specified as C:, D: and so on. How do I list these all like on a Unix machine with "ls /mnt/" with Powershell?

To get all of the file system drives, you can use the following command:

gdr -PSProvider 'FileSystem'

gdr is an alias for Get-PSDrive, which includes all of the "virtual drives" for the registry, etc.
