Windws : Fun with powershell

Running a ps1 file at PowerShell start up for all users.

1.Create the following file
C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1

1. Get the ps1 file signed or be dangerously risky and Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted

When ever PowerShell is started it will run the ps1 file.

I start cygwin on PowerShell start up, My ps1 file looks like this

Text:

set-alias help get-help # Create the alias help from the cmdlet get-help
new-item -path alias:cygwin -value /cygwin/cygwin # create an alias from a non-cmdlet
clear # clear Screen
cygwin # start cygwin

So I get this when i start powershell, notice the folder name from before \v1.0\ and the version that appears below.
