PowerShell Scripts

This PowerShell script is designed to copy a specific script file (MapNetworkDrive.ps1) from the user's "My Documents" folder to the Windows startup folder, ensuring it runs automatically at startup on Windows 10 or Windows 11 systems.

Please be aware, the coding on this site is meant to guide. Testing these scripts in a non-production environment is strongly encouraged. I take no responsibility for use of any scripts on this site or on my github repositories.

# Configurable variables.  Script name is the map drive script provided.  This will look for the file in the my documents folder. 
# this will allow you to use onedrive to keep the file backed up.
$scriptName = "MapNetworkDrive.ps1"
$documentsPath = [Environment]::GetFolderPath("MyDocuments")
$scriptPath = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($documentsPath, $scriptName)

# Function to determine if the OS is Windows 10 or Windows 11
function Get-OSVersion {
    $osVersion = (Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_OperatingSystem).Version
    if ($osVersion -like "10.0.22000*" -or $osVersion -like "10.0.22621*") {
        return "Windows 11"
    } elseif ($osVersion -like "10.0.1*") {
        return "Windows 10"
    } else {
        return "Other"
    }
}

# Function to copy the script to the user's startup folder
function Copy-ScriptToStartup {
    param (
        [string]$scriptPath
    )

    $osVersion = Get-OSVersion
    if ($osVersion -eq "Windows 10" -or $osVersion -eq "Windows 11") {
        $startupFolder = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($env:APPDATA, "Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Startup")
        $destinationPath = [System.IO.Path]::Combine($startupFolder, [System.IO.Path]::GetFileName($scriptPath))

        try {
            Copy-Item -Path $scriptPath -Destination $destinationPath -Force
            Write-Host "Script copied to startup folder successfully."
        } catch {
            Write-Host "Failed to copy script to startup folder: $_"
        }
    } else {
        Write-Host "This script is only designed for Windows 10 and Windows 11."
    }
}

# Main script execution
if (Test-Path $scriptPath) {
    Copy-ScriptToStartup -scriptPath $scriptPath
} else {
    Write-Host "The script $scriptName was not found in the Documents folder."
