Yikes! - you shouldn't have to do Set-ExecutionPolicy every time you start a shell. Something is definitely wrong there. Try doing a: Get-ExecutionPolicy -List to see what is setting it. Then use -SCOPE on Set-ExecutionPolicy. BTW - I hear you on the "only chmod the scripts you want" - that is a nice benefit of the Unix model. Jeffrey Snover [MSFT]
