How to Change the Prompt

The built in 'prompt' function governs what the PowerShell prompt will look like and in order to change it all you have to do is modify this function.

For example to display a prompt that has your current location followed by a new line, a $ sign and a space, simply type:

function prompt {

"$(Get-Location)>`n`$ "

}

This should display:

C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0>
$
