I may be out in left field here, but I think Leslie is asking about creating a Windows shortcut that invokes the Powershell instead of the Command Prompt shell.
I'm interested in the answer as well. In XP, when you Create Shortcut, it doesn't seem to give you any way to specify which shell you wish to invoke on a double-click, just "Normal window", "maximized", and "minimized". -Chip- On 12/3/2013 09:59 Mark Miesfeld said: > On Mon, Dec 2, 2013 at 10:44 PM, J.
