Some Notes on the Machines

Prefix this, add a space to the end, and then type your Powershell:

%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -NoProfile -InputFormat None -ExecutionPolicy Bypass -Command

My current favorite way:

[string]$PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Major + '.' + [string]$PSVersionTable.PSVersion.Minor

If it’s 1.0, you’ll get an error, otherwise you will have what you need.

Here’s a rundown:

If you place a tilde (~) before the command you enter, no space after, your command will be run within Powershell. For instance:

~dir
