Here’s another fast and furious Powershell tip.  Even though Powershell has an alias for DIR, it is not the DIR command you’re used to.  It is an alias to Get-ChildItem.  This means if you are use to using commands like: <\/p>\n

C:\\> DIR *.exe \/w<\/font><\/p>\n

This will fail in Powershell.  I think there are some Powershell Community extensions to work around this and I think the Powershell team is also looking at this. Fortunately, there is a simple remedy.  In Powershell simply invoke CMD and run the DIR command like you always have in the past:<\/p>\n

PS C:\\Scripts> cmd \/c dir *.ps1 \/w \/od<\/font><\/p>\n

You’ll never know the difference.<\/p>\n
