Neither can I, Dick - thanks for looking - considering the iso mount feature has been around since Windows 8, it's a bit of a mystery.
In a reasonable world, it should show up in properties for the drive as Isofile.Path: C:\Users\MSUser\AppData\Local\Microsoft\Windows\INetCache\IE\T5QLPI0M\Win10_English_x64[1].iso
- Open an elevated Powershell window
- Enter the following:
get-volume [DRIVELETTER:] | get-diskimage
This will output the path along with some other info.
- EDIT - At least this works in Server 2012R2. I'm not sure it does in Windows 10.
I am not sure if this anwers your question but in every browser you use whether it's Firefox, Chrome, IE, Opera etc... there's an option to set the default download folder. I normally set it to Desktop so anything I download would be on Desktop, it would be easier to save/move it to somewhere else or delete it if I no longer need it.

I'm fairly certain that, what happened was, he checked or defaulted to Open vs Save when the download started and he was asked what to do with the file. This is why it mounted as Drive L w/o any User interaction.

Not sure why this doesn't work for me on 10 Pro - it looks like it should. Get-Volume works but doesn't seem to work with Get-DiskImage.
Get-DiskImage on its own works though - it shows you the path of the ISO (as long as you put in the correct virtual disk number (\\.\CDROM0 or whatever).
There is also GetVirtualDiskPhysicalPath function (Windows) but it is a bit inconvenient...

Yes that's what happened - I mention it in post #7 (How do I find the path to the ISO file of a mounted virtual DVD. - Windows 10 Forums) and it ends up in a temporary location down a long, hidden, convoluted path.
But now, Thanks to @Antrill for guiding the way, and to @Ix07 for actually giving me the solution and the syntax needed (with a little manipulation) :
Get-Diskimage -devicepath \\.\L:
where L: is the drive letter of the mounted image as in:
I am now a happy bunny :)Code:PS I:\WINDOWS\system32> get-diskimage -devicepath \\.\n: Attached : True BlockSize : 2097152 DevicePath : \\.\PHYSICALDRIVE4 FileSize : 8909041152 ImagePath : K:\IE11 - Win7.vhd LogicalSectorSize : 512 Number : 4 Size : 136365211648 StorageType : 2 PSComputerName : PS I:\WINDOWS\system32> get-diskimage -devicepath \\.\p: Attached : True BlockSize : 0 DevicePath : \\.\CDROM1 FileSize : 3904124928 ImagePath : D:\9600.16384.130821-1623_x64fre_Client_EN-GB-IRM_CCSA_DV5\9600.16384.130821-1623_x64fre_Client_EN- GB-IRM_CCSA_DV5.ISO LogicalSectorSize : 2048 Number : 1 Size : 3904124928 StorageType : 1 PSComputerName :
Now all I need to do is create a little script like WhereRU(DriveLetter) that takes the letter of the mounted drive in question and outputs IMHere(ImagePath)
