The following statement will also work (and it only uses native powershell cmdlets): 

New-PsDrive -Name [DRIVELETTER] -PSProvider filesystem -Root "\\localhost\C$\[PATH]" -Persist

You could use subst:

subst x: c:\myfolder1\myfolder2\

or New-PSDrive:

New-PSDrive -Name x -PSProvider FileSystem -Root c:\myfolder1\myfolder2\
