Please give option to open windows POWERSHELL (instead of dos prompt)

wow. This too.

It is even more convenient than in Windows, that has no direct icon or option anywhere to open powershell directly.

Thanks a lot.

But how is it possible that when I execute LNK file wih a path

C:\Windows\SysWOW64\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe

I get version A, but when I past the very same path to "Program and folder" then apparently a different B version of PowerShell is opened?

And I know this because for version A [from LNK] I have changed colors - and so I would expect them to show up when running PowerShell B [from within FreeComander]




And another thing: how to tell FC to open PowerShell in a maximized window?

I have figured it out

Apparently it has to do with the fact that when opening as Administrator the EXE used is the one from SysWOW64 [although showing as path >>C:\Windows\System32\<<]



But I have new issues concerning PowerShell opening: https://freecommander.com/forum/viewtop ... 18&t=11623
