In this blog post, we will discuss Join-Path cmdlet in PowerShell. You can use Join-Path cmdlet to combine a parent path and a child path. For example, suppose you have a file that you want to create some directory in all the drive, you can use the drive letter as parent path and your directory as a child path and combine them to get the paths necessary to create the directory in all drive. Join-Path can be used to create an absolute path for your files, directories, or registry keys.
