Windows PowerShell default open location

I have been googling and trying different options but I didn't really find anything useful or that worked.

My question is how to set default open location for windows PowerShell, I want it to always open c:/programming/ folder when I start it from like start menu, instead what it opens now.

I'm using windows 10.

Thnx for help

the usual way to tell PoSh where to start up at is to add a Set-Location line to one of your powershell profile files. i added ...

Set-Location D:\Data\Scripts

... to my CurrentUserCurrentHost file. you can learn more about profiles with ...

Get-Help about_Profiles

you can find your version of the profile i used thus ...

$profile |
    Select-Object -Property *

please note that none of these files exist by default. you will likely need to make one. if you do be sure it is a plain text file, not a .doc file! [grin]
