Windows 10: How to set file associations in PowerShell so that .ps1 is exec by PS

How to set file associations in PowerShell so that a .ps1 Script is executed by PowerShell when double clicked.
I tried:
Code: cmd /c "ASSOC .ps1=Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1" cmd /c "FTYPE Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1=""C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe"" ""%1"""[/quote] No error is shown when executed and the desktop is shortly after refreshed, but unfortunately the .ps1 Script is still not executed by PowerShell.

I noticed under Code: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\FileExts\.ps1\[/quote] a Code: UserChoice[/quote] Folder is created when one manually sets a "Open with" program. This folder contains two important entries:
Code: 1.) Hash REG_SZ wk2qS8kKVnU <- random value automatically created by Windows 2.) ProgId REG_SZ Applications\notepad.exe[/quote] But unfortunately one can't manually set a Hash since the Hash value is created automatically by Windows, so the value is kinda secret? -- additionally, the value has a different value each time, despite the a same program name.

Missing apps

You just need to extract PS1 file from ZIP and then right click the PS1 file and selecting Run with powershell will reinstall all the apps.

 

Setting .PS1 scripts default program to Powershell is soooooooooooo freak'in difficult

In Windows 10, .PS1 by default program is set to notepad, yeah go wonder, even though the description for a .PS1 file is "Windows Powershell Script", then of course trying to set it to Powershell brings up a dialog that asks "Which app do you want it to
set to" and of course there is no app named Powershell. Then the dialog wants you to search the computer to find Powershell even though it is Microsoft's major player in scripting, the Windows 10 can't find, I have to hunt and peck to find the executable.

 

How do you do that?
- have you tried rt clicking your .ps1 file, Open With, and browse to psexec.exe? "Look for another app"?

Or you could use (freeware)

 

See this tutorial: PowerShell Scripting - Run a Script from Shortcut General Tips Tutorials

 

Sorry, I forgot to mention that it would be set through a GPO, so no user interaction required. All the user would do is to double click the script and PowerShell would execute it.

 

That can't be done. PowerShell scripts cannot be run by double clicking their icon. The only way is to use shortcut as told in tutorial I linked to.

 

Thanks, good or not good to know that this can't be done (up to Win7 it was possible AFAIK). I decided to start the PowerShell script through .cmd/.bat, as these are already set to be executed by CMD.
