The location of the profile is stored in $profile so you can use that (i have an alias that does nothing more than gvim $profile).

Also, given how common the request is, I'd ask Jeffrey to (pretty-please) also include in this post a prompt function that sets the title to include pwd.

More elaborate prompt functions are certainly possible, of course - for example http://mshforfun.blogspot.com/2006/05/perfect-prompt-for-windows-powershell.html

thank you eric and thank you monadblog person.

asking questions on other peoples blogs is so much easier than just reading the help documentation myself. ;-)

Find profile.ps1 (can't recall where it lives) and add that line to your prompt function. Make any additional changes, then save and restart powershell.

nice.

now what if you want that change to be persisted across sessions?

similarly, what if i want to change the prompt function, and then have it retain this new value next time i open a powershell console?
