\"talkbubble-v3\"<\/a>Here's a little suggestion for today that might make it easier for you to use PowerShell. In PowerShell 3.0, the Get-Help cmdlet includes a terrific new parameter called -ShowWindow. When you ask for help with this parameter, you get complete help in a new window. The window is re-sizable, searchable and customizable. I love this thing because it means I can look at full cmdlet (or function) help without having to scroll back and forth in a console window.<\/p>\n

help get-acl -ShowWindow<\/pre>\n
\"help-window\"<\/a><\/p>\n
Now for the fun part. PowerShell 3 also includes a feature where you can define default parameter values. These values are stored in a hash table where the key takes for the form \"cmdletname:parametername\" and you can use wildcards. In your PowerShell profile script add this line.<\/p>\n
$psdefaultparametervalues.add(\"get-help:showwindow\",$True)<\/pre>\n
Now, whenever you run a help command using either Get-Help or the Help function, you will automatically get the popup help window. This won't affect help commands like these:<\/p>\n
\r\nget-help  get-acl -parameter audit\r\nhelp get-acl -example \r\n<\/pre>\n
You can always remove the entry from the $PSDefaultParameterValues hash table, or temporarily not use it by explicitly setting ShowWindow to $False.<\/p>\n
help Get-CimInstance -ShowWindow:$false<\/pre>\n
Now you have no excuse for ignoring PowerShell's help documentation. <\/p>\n","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"
