    Hello Schulzi,

     

    I am not aware of a cmdlet, but it’s quit easy to create the string you need by using string formatting. Take a look at this code:

    $SID = (New-Object System.Security.Principal.NTAccount($env:Username)).Translate([System.Security.Principal.SecurityIdentifier]).Value
    $RegPath = '"HKEY_USERS"{0}_Classes-CLSID-018D5C66-4533-4307-9B53-224DE2ED1FE6"' -f $SID

    More info is here:

    Good luck!
