How to run scripts from within Powershell

As taken form here.

To summarize, here’s how you run from scripts from within Windows PowerShell:

• Make sure you’ve changed your execution policy. By default, PowerShell won’t run scripts at all, no matter how you specify the path.

• To run a script, specify the entire file path, or either: 1) use the .\ notation to run a script in the current directory or 2) put the folder where the script resides in your Windows path.

• If your file path includes blank spaces, enclose the path in double quote marks and preface the path with an ampersand.
