  Even something as simple as:

  move-item “C:\Users\computername\Desktop\afiletomove.csv” (“C:\Users\computername\Desktop\destinationFolder\newFileName (0:MMddyyyy).csv” -f (get-date))

  Stops working as intended when your desktop no longer resides at that path.

  Also, I have the same functions running on multiple machines with different names so I have to dynamically resolve the path and piece it together using strings.

    Okay, so if your source path changes, your script stops working? Who knew. Try ([Environment]::GetFolderPath(“Desktop”))

      I am using that already, but if I recall, it’s the space in the path ‘\one drive\’ that makes that not work correctly.

  Yeah, I reflexively double quote every path. It’s still stupid though.
