NAME Get-ForensicShimcache
SYNOPSIS
Gets previously run commands from the Shimcache forensic artifact.
SYNTAX
Get-ForensicShimcache [[-VolumeName] <String>] [<CommonParameters>]
Get-ForensicShimcache -HivePath <String> [<CommonParameters>]
DESCRIPTION
The Get-Shimcache cmdlet parses the AppCompatCache (AppCompatibility on XP) registry value to derive applications
that were recently used. If you don't specify a hive path (-HivePath), the cmdlet parses the local System hive.
Except as noted, the cmdlets in the PowerForensics module require the permissions of a member of the
Administrators group on the computer. To run them, start Windows PowerShell with the 'Run as administrator' option.
PARAMETERS
-VolumeName [<String>]
Specifies the name of the volume or logical partition.
Enter the volume name in one of the following formats: \\\\.\\C:, C:, or C.
Required? false
Position? 0
Default value \\\\.\\C:
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
-HivePath <String>
Registry hive to parse.
Required? true
Position? named
Default value
Accept pipeline input? false
Accept wildcard characters? false
<CommonParameters>
This cmdlet supports the common parameters: Verbose, Debug,
ErrorAction, ErrorVariable, WarningAction, WarningVariable,
OutBuffer, PipelineVariable, and OutVariable. For more information, see

OUTPUTS
PowerForensics.Artifacts.Shimcache
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 1 --------------------------
[ADMIN]: PS C:\\>Get-Shimcache
This example shows Get-Shimcache being run against the default System Hive (C:\\Windows\\system32\\config\\SYSTEM)
-------------------------- EXAMPLE 2 --------------------------
[ADMIN]: PS C:\\>Get-Shimcache -HivePath C:\\evidence\\system
This is an example of Get-Shimcache taking a SYSTEM hive as an argument.
