Does anyone know of a way to start PowerShell in a specific folder from Windows Explorer, e.g. to right-click in a folder and have an option like "Open PowerShell in this Folder".
It's really annoying to have to change directories to my project folder the first time I run MSBuild every day.

Try the PowerShell PowerToy.. it adds a context menu item for Open PowerShell Here.
Or you could create a shortcut that opens PowerShell with the Start In folder being your Projects folder.

Scott Hanselman has a really simple inf that will do this for you. If you want to tweak the script it is really easy to go and edit the inf for customizations.
Gulzar : oops. i think we posted around same time. +1 for duplicate.:)Ken Egozi : I like Chris' answer better, as he gives credit where credit due, both by implicitly (with Scott's domain in the full url) and explicitly. -
You can download the inf file from here - Introducing PowerShell Prompt Here

Just to add in the reverse as a trick, at a powershell prompt you can do:
ii .To open an explorer window in your current directory.
Chris Sutton : Nice, I had been doing explorer . but ii . is a lot quicker, thanks. -
There's a Windows Explorer extension made by the dude who makes tools for SVN that will at least open a command prompt window. Haven't tried it yet so I don't know if it'll do Powershell, but I wanted to share the love with my Stackoverflow bretheren:
