Updating window title bar to current location

12-30-2007

Folks,

I would like to show the current location on my PowerShell window's
title bar.

I can achive that initially by having this line in my "profile.ps1":

$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = "$(Get-Location)"

How can I get it to constantly update, whenever I issue a "cd" or
"Set-Location" command? Is there a way to trigger the title bar to
update to reflect the current location?

Thanks!
Marc

Hi Marc

You need put it in your $profile prompt function. If you don't have the prompt
function in your $profile
you can create one :

function Prompt{ $host.ui.rawui.windowtitle = "$pwd" }

O gosh - this is sooo simple - it's embarassing - thanks! Works like a
charm !
