Making Gvim work with Powershell

In gvim when I want to execute something like,:!ls it send this command to the regular Command prompt cmd.exe. So, I can't use ls or pwd or any of the regular linux commands. But, PowerShell supports most of the Linux type commands. So, how can I set PowerShell as the default shell for vim?

Set the vim shell variable to the PowerShell executable:

set shell=C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe
