Open Powershell in a specific directory from shortcut

Define a Shortcut for Powershell, and Open the properties of that, and finally in "Start" type the folder target to be opened when Powershell Shortcut is triggered

You can also set the "Start in" shortcut field to your desired location.

Ok - you need to use the & parameter to specify it's a powershell comand & the syntax is slightly different:

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 
-noexit -command "& {cd c:\path\to\open}"

Use this command.

powershell.exe -noexit -command "cd c:\temp"

-NoExit: Do not exit after running startup commands.
