About WindowsPowerShell
WindowsPowerShell is a public GitHub repository of PowerShell profile scripts and automation scripts for Windows. The repository holds the author's custom PowerShell profiles and scripts that configure a new machine and install commonly used apps and tools. The scripts can be copied into the Documents\PowerShell folder, or the repository can be installed with Initialize-Machine, which downloads it to Documents\WindowsPowerShell.
The repository includes a set of command scripts in the Modules\Scripts folder. These cover tasks such as clearing the Windows Event Log and temporary folders, converting between hex and BinHex values, converting .m4a audio to .mp3, and copying console output with its colors preserved. Installing the scripts requires loosening the PowerShell execution policy on new machines, and one script patches termsrv.dll to allow multiple concurrent RDP connections.

WindowsPowerShell FAQ
Can the Initialize-Machine script be run more than once?
Yes. The repository describes the script as re-entrant, so it can be run multiple times without a problem.
Do I need Git to install the scripts?
No. Initialize-Machine downloads the repository itself. If Git is already installed, the repository can be cloned manually instead. The repository can also be downloaded as a Zip file, in which case all files must be unblocked after unzipping.
