Windows 10: Cannot remove from startup "open powershell window here powershell.exe -noexit -command set...

I am using CCleaner to remove unwanted startups in Windows 10. There are two items that it cannot disable or delete and that is "open powershell window here powershell.exe -noexit -command set -location -literalpath"


How can I remove them from startup?

:)

This solved my not being able to disable the 2 powershell scripts but why are they there in the first place?

It seems that you cannot remove the folder because you don't have a permission to do so. To remove the two
powershell.exe -noexit -command Set-Location '%V' on registry, we need first to set the permission to
Everyone. To do so, kindly follow the steps below:

• Open CC Cleaner
• Go to Context Menu
• Right-click on powershell.exe -noexit -command Set-Location '%V'.
• Click on Open in RegEdit.
  
  
• Right-click on the Powershell folder.
• Click Permission
• Click Advanced
• Click Change
• Type in "Everyone" without the quotation.
• Click OK

Also set the Administrator's permission to Full Control. After doing so, you can now delete the
Powershell folder. Be guided that you need to do a backup of your
Registry before doing the steps.

Let us know how it goes.

Since updating to Windows Anniversary Edition, there is an inaccessible Powershell command in my startup context menu.

There are two keys, one each for 'Directory' and 'Drive'.

On both the program is listed as "Open Powershell window here",

and the file command is: powershell.exe -noexit -command Set-Location '%V'



What is this, and why is it here.

I have tried to both disable, and to delete it. Both FAIL. Access is denied.



I have even gone to the registry location and attempted to put a (-) before the default value string.

This action should disable the item. I have also tried to delete the value string for the entire item.

With both of these maneuvers I am told that I cannot edit value string.



I have taken ownership of, and given all users full access to Powershell.exe, and tried all of these step again,

AND IT STILL WILL NOT DISABLE OR DELETE!!!



Has anyone else run into this?
