## PowerShell (POSH) script
- You can rename this script to anything you want.
- I suggest copying this script to a simple path since you must execute POSH scripts using their full path.
- Complete instructions are included in the script. Run `Get-Help` as you would with any other POSH script.
```powershell
Get-Help .\sri.ps1 # basic help including syntax
Get-Help .\sri.ps1 -examples # detailed examples of script usage
Get-Help .\sri.ps1 -detailed # full help document
```
### execution policy
By default, Windows does not permit running any POSH scripts. You can change this behaviour by opening PowerShell as an administrator and entering the following command:
```powershell
Set-ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
```
This will allow scripts created on your machine to run as well an as *signed* scripts created on other machines. My script is signed, so it should run without any problems. This setting is far safer than bypassing the execution policy.
You can search for alternate bypass methods, but I have not included them here since switching to *RemoteSigned* is the technically correct approach.
## final thoughts
I hope these scripts help you out! If you have any comments, suggestions or improvements, please file an issue. I love getting feedback and learning new ways of doing things.
