PowerShell on Windows 7: Set-ExecutionPolicy for regular users

Question

I want to run PowerShell scripts on Windows 7 as a regular user. Whenever I try, I get the following error:

File C:\\Users\\danv\\Documents\\WindowsPowe         


        

Answer 1

Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted -Scope CurrentUser

This will set the execution policy for the current user (stored in HKEY_CURRENT_USER) rather than the local machine (HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE). This is useful if you don't have administrative control over the computer.
