Running powershell script from explorer = execution policy error

  • On Windows 7 final I did: Set-ExecutionPolicy Unlimited
  • In Windows Explorer I select the script.ps1 file, select open with, put c: \ windows \ system32 \ WindowsPowerShell \ v1.0 \ powershell.exe
  • Powershell window briefly blinks with an error about execution policy.

The scripts are executed perfectly from within powershell. How can I launch them from Windows Explorer?

I understood that. The "about_Execution_Policies" reference element contained hints. The process execution policy should be more restrictive, which overrides the localmachine policy that was set by the standard Set-ExecutionPolicy command.



Group Policy reverses all of this. You get the template to install from microsoft , ignore the part of the page that says this only applies to win xp, this is wrong. This help file and above contains the rest of the necessary instructions.

Are you sure this is an execution policy error? If it's PowerShell v2, try including the parameter -File

before the filename:



"C:\Windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" -File "%1"
