Get-ForensicAmcache
SYNOPSIS
Gets previously run commands from the Amcache.hve registry hive.
SYNTAX
ByVolume
Get-ForensicAmcache [[-VolumeName] <String>]
ByPath
Get-ForensicAmcache -HivePath <String>
DESCRIPTION
The Get-Amcache cmdlet parses the Amcache.hve registry hive to derive applications that were recently used. If you don't specify a hive path (-HivePath), the cmdlet parses the C:\Windows\AppCompat\Programs\Amcache.hve.
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.
EXAMPLES

Example 2
[ADMIN]: PS C:\> Get-Amcache -HivePath C:\Windows\AppCompat\Programs\Amcache.hve
This is an example of Get-Amcache taking a Amcache.hve as an argument.
