So you say the only thing you really liked about Vista was the way they did away with the possessive adjective for your data folders – “Documents” instead of “My Documents,” and so forth. Now in Windows 7, it’s back again. What’s up with that? Maybe they were afraid we would get them confused with somebody else’s documents? At any rate, you can change it if you want. Here’s how:

1. Click the Windows Explorer icon on the taskbar.
2. In the left pane, navigate to the drive where Windows 7 is installed.
3. In the right pane, double click Users.
4. Double click your profile name.
5. Right click on My Documents, or any of the other “My” folders, and select Rename.
6. Rename to Documents.

Now you’re rid of that silly possessive determiner again.

The first thing you need to do is make sure that Powershell is set to execute Powershell scripts, instead of only allowing interactive commands to be run in the Powershell environment.

Type the following at the Powershell command prompt:

 

set-executionpolicy RemoteSigned

 

This will allow the system to run Powershell scripts that are created locally (Remote Powershell scripts that may be downloaded must be signed).

Once this is done, you can create your Powershell script using notepad. Just make sure you name the file with an extension of .ps1 . Now to run the script outside of its Powershell environment you type a command similar to the following:

 

powershell -command “& ‘MyScript.ps1′ “

 

Just put the above command into a .bat or .cmd file and schedule it like you would normally schedule a script to be run with Windows task scheduler
