Windows 10: powershell $PROFILE, clink config, doskey, etc

what are the best practices for securing these kinds of confs? at first i was thinking about maybe moving their locations so as not to be where they always are, but that seems like it doesnt really solve much if the fear is someone injecting an init into your profile. is there any best practices for handling these securely? could always like inject an init before the profile loads decrypts what's stored in an an encrypted state, but that seems like it may add too much time before it's loaded. i know vim use to have encryption for blowfish2 i used just to obfuscate since its well known to b

Lost default photo viewer after profile rebuild

Thanks Brink. I've tried those steps before i started searching Google. After the profile rebuild i don't have the Photo app listed to choose to make it default in either the system settings for default apps or the Open With option.

I can't even find it doing a search. Seems to have been removed somehow with the profile rebuild, which doesn't make sense.

Might be helpful to list what i've done I've done the open with check, the choose default program in the system menu, tried that in device manager default programs also. I've checked the programs and features Turn windows features on/off and it's not listed there (never thought it was but that was a suggestion), searched the MS Store, it's not listed there either.

I don't like playing in the registry unless i have defined steps and haven't found anything for this yet, just the Win7 version like in my OP.
