Module FolderBookmarks The module provides functions to manage and use bookmarks that point to folders. Bookmarks can be created, changed and removed. Each change is immediately stored in the user's CliXml file. The CliXml file in the user's profile can be imported via a function. It's advised to perform the import in the user's $profile script so the bookmarks are available when a new PowerShell session is started.
