• How to define different hardware profiles for Win7

  - by guillermooo

  I sometimes hook up my laptop to a big screen and regular keyboard and mouse set. The keyboard and the mouse require drivers that I don't want loaded when I'm not using them. Can I tell Win7 to switch between several hardware/drivers profiles?

• How to selectively load device drivers in Windows 7

  - by guillermooo

  I sometimes hook up my laptop to a regular keyboard and mouse set. These require drivers that I don't want loaded when I'm using my laptop's own keyboard and touchpad. So... Can I tell Windows 7 to selectively load one or the other driver based on this condition, or switch between the two?

• How to set foreground Window from Powershell event subscriber action

  - by guillermooo

  I have a FileSystemWatcher instance running in the background of my PoSh session watching for changes to text files. A PoSh event subscriber is attached to this event and, when fired, it launches a console program by calling Start-Process. This program steals de focus from the current foreground window (my PoSh console). Calling SetForegroundWindow from the PoSh event subscriber to return the focus to my PoSh console doesn't work. SwitchToThisWindow does work most of the time, but according to the MSDN docs, it shoulnd't be used. Can I prevent Start-Process from stealing the focus in this situation or set it back from the event subscriber to the window that had it before this event is fired?

• How to supress Powershell window when using the -File option

  - by guillermooo

  I'm calling Powershell like so: C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noprofile -noninteractive -nologo -file "C:\Users\dummy\Documents\dev\powershell\samples\test.ps1" I'm calling it from a python script, but the same problem can be observed if called via a shortcut. I thought the -NonInteractive flag would cause Poweshell to execute in a hidden window, but it doesn't. Is there a way of supressing the console window when calling Powershell from an external application? Solution based on Johannes Rössel suggestion st_inf = subprocess.STARTUPINFO() st_inf.dwFlags = st.inf.dwFlags | subprocess.STARTF_USESHOWWINDOW Popen(["notepad"], startupinfo=st_inf)

• tabexpansion doesn't fall through if overridden

  - by guillermooo

  The tabexpansion function only works partially when I override it like so: function tabexpansion { param($line, $lastWord) if ($line -eq "hey ") { "you", "Joe" } } The custom completions work as expected, but now I only get the default autocomplete behavior for cmdlet names, not parameters. So New-TAB works fine, but New-Alias -TAB doesn't. How do I get the regular completions too after overriding tabexpansion?

• How to create symbolic links in Windows?

  - by guillermooo

  Related: In .NET, how do I Create a Junction in NTFS, as opposed to a Symlink? I've tried Winbolic (Windows XP), but i can't get it to work the way I want. Am I wrong here?: If I create a symbolic link within a folder in my %PATH%, the referenced directory should work as if it had actually been added to %PATH%, right?

• How to prevent command/script from changing global environment

  - by guillermooo

  I need to run scriptblocks/scripts from the current top-level shell and I want them to leave the global environment unmodified. So far, I've only been able to think of the following possibilities: powershell -file <script> powershell -noprofile -command <scriptblock> The problem is, that they are very slow. For instance, I would like to be able to do: mkdir newdir cd newdir $env:NEW_VAR = 100 ni -item f 'newfile.txt' ...so that my shell's working dir wouldn't change and $env:NEW_VAR wouldn't be set in the global environment. Are there any more alternatives to accomplish this?

• Is there a shorthand form to get variables' values with numbered scopes?

  - by guillermooo

  Is there any shorter way of doing this? & { $a = 1 ; & { $a = 2 ; & { get-variable -name a -scope 2 } } } ... like, for instance, this?: & { $a = 1 ; & { $a = 2 ; & { $2:a } } }
