Newbie: running external script

I want to create a simple (.ps1) script and run it outside of Powershell
(double-click the script from Windows and have it start automatically).

Any ideas how to do this, much appreciated.

I find that it's no different from a .bat file. The shell opens up,
executes, and then disappears unless you have something that pauses it.

On my system, .PS1 files are by default associated to notepad.exe. Do a
right-click Open With and then Choose Program... The path to PowerShell is in
the variable $PSHOME.

usually i create the .ps1 with arguments built in.

Then at cmd prmopt, i type "powershell d:\<filename>.ps1 arguments"

It is similar to "cscript d:\<filename>.vbs arguments"

double click and it will disappear fast and u can't see results.

Default behaviour is for a PowerShell script not to be runnable by double
clicking - security feature.

If need to run script outside shell best way is either as previous post
states or create shortcut to powershell and add a command eg.

C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -Command
C:\Scripts\Monad\Services-Processes\stop-sqlservice.ps1
