SQL Server 2012 SQLPs Module - Changing current location automatically?

I've solved this problem by adding a cd <local folder> as the first line of the script to break out of the provider. Feels hackish though.

A little more information on WHY in sql 2012 it is changing to the SQLSERVER: directory...

When powershell imports sqlps module, the manifest defines a post script file named SqlPsPostScript.ps1. This file (first line) changes the current location to the SQLSERVER: provider

On x64 bit box the module is located - C:\Program Files (x86)\Microsoft SQL Server\110\Tools\PowerShell\Modules\SQLPS.

In powershell 3.0 automatic importing can make it difficult to tell when this will occur (in my experience).

Its not clear why (from a logical standpoint) it should do this. We don't want to touch the SQL server modules, so I guess you need to do an explicit set-location after import of the module. You might also look at this as a solution that's a little less hacky.
