Hidden ... as it frankly should be. It is time to move on to bigger and better things. If only certain people I know would embrace the change of the century. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Timothy Spaulding Sent: Friday, November 18, 2016 8:15 AM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: Re: [Blind-sysadmins] heads up for anyone on the Windows Insider program Thanks Ryan, T This is a good call out. -----Original Message----- From: Blind-sysadmins [mailto:blind-sysadmins-bounces@lists.hodgsonfamily.org] On Behalf Of Ryan Shugart Sent: Thursday, November 17, 2016 11:45 PM To: Blind sysadmins list Subject: [Blind-sysadmins] heads up for anyone on the Windows Insider program Hi: Just a heads up to anyone on the Windows Insider program, please read the announcement at this web page: https://blogs.windows.com/windowsexperience/2016/11/17/announcing-windows-10... In particular: PowerShell in the Shell: In an effort to bring the best command line experiences to the forefront for all power users, PowerShell is now the defacto command shell from File Explorer. It replaces Command Prompt (aka, “cmd.exe”) in the WIN + X menu, in File Explorer’s File menu, and in the context menu that appears when you shift-right-click the whitespace in File Explorer. Typing “cmd” (or “powershell”) in File Explorer’s address bar will remain a quick way to launch the command shell at that location. For those who prefer to use Command Prompt, you can opt out of the WIN + X change by opening Settings > Personalization > Taskbar, and turning “Replace Command Prompt with Windows PowerShell in the menu when I right-click the Start button or press Windows key+X” to “Off”. So, if you do much work on Windows machines and don’t know Powershell. Well my first question would be “why not?” My second statement though, its time to learn Powershell. You’ll like it. Seriously though, just wanted to send the heads up out that for all intence and purposes the normal cmd.exe you know and love is becoming more hidden.
