Open Powershell in a specific directory from shortcut


Use this command.

powershell.exe -noexit -command "cd c:\temp"

-NoExit: Do not exit after running startup commands.


You can also set the "Start in" shortcut field to your desired location.


Ok - you need to use the & parameter to specify it's a powershell comand & the syntax is slightly different:

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit -command "& {cd c:\path\to\open}"
