Powershell login script
I use Powershell as my login script and want to share what I've done and documented for others who are looking at using Powershell as their login script.

Powershell and network locations
Ok, So if I run powershell withour "Run As Administrator" I can access network share locations but I can't execute scripts. If I open powershell as Administrator I am no longer able to access network locations but I can run scripts. What am I missing here?

What do you mean "which taskbar" ?
Windows only has one taskbar!

Maybe, but with XP, Vista and Windows 7, there is no such PowerShell icon in the taskbar.
To start PowerShell as an administrator, do the following:

Start > Programs > Accessories > Windows PowerShell> Windows PowerShell
then right click > copy shortcut to desktop > right click on shortcut > execute as administrator.

in How to Start Windows PowerShell with the Import System Modules Task
path is %Windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\1.0\Modules
and must be %Windir%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Modules  like in my Microsoft® Windows7™ (difference is v1.0)
Please, when corrected, erase my present add, thank you, and don't stop

How to Start Windows PowerShell with All Modules
Under "How to Start Windows PowerShell with All Modules" section

"In the taskbar, right-click the Windows PowerShell icon, and then click Import All Modules."

Which taskbar? Can you please give more specific instruction?
