Wish I could start / run "$pshome"

- $pshome is shorter than %windir%\system32\windowspowershell\1.0
- $home is shorter than %userprofile%
- $profiledir is shorter than %userprofile%\My Documents\WindowsPowerShell

Just wanted to complain, that's all.

But seriously, this gave me a thought. Has anyone considered coding some sort
of Explorer extension to further integrate Powershell into Windows in little
ways like this?

Yeah, but then you've got to manually create the shortcuts. Someone needs to
make a new launcher that has a Powershell host with access to PS variables.

I just made a system environment variable named PSHOME. So then just run
%PSHOME%.
