In powershell you don't have 1 profile, you have 4 different ones
List all four like this:
$profile | get-member -type noteproperty | ft -prop Name, Definition
result:
Name Definition
---- ----------
AllUsersAllHosts string AllUsersAllHosts=C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\profile.ps1
AllUsersCurrentHost string AllUsersCurrentHost=C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
CurrentUserAllHosts string CurrentUserAllHosts=C:\Users\Agatha\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\profile.ps1
CurrentUserCurrentHost string CurrentUserCurrentHost=C:\Users\Agatha\Documents\WindowsPowerShell\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
And they are listed in the order in which they are loaded (if they are present that is)
AllUsersAllHosts- This profile applies to all users and all shells. (i.e. in Powershell, in ISE, in third party consoles.)AllUsersCurrentHost- This profile applies to all users, but only in the WindowsPowerShell host. (i.e. not loaded if you are in ISE or in a third party host, unless they've gone to extra effort.)CurrentUserAllHosts- This profile applies to the current user, regardless of what shell you are using.CurrentUserCurrentHost- This profile applies to the current user and the current host (WindowsPowerShell) only. (i.e. not loaded if you are in ISE or in a third party host, unless they've gone to extra effort.)
Create new file, use:
As mentioned -- the file (and even its containing folder) may not exist for you. So you need to know how to create folder and force the creation of the folder it is in, if needed:
New-Item -path {filename} -type file -force
Create new profile
This creates a new profile file, and folder if needed
New-Item -path $profile -type file -force
Google for profiles
To see example profiles on the internet google for either:
inurl:Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1
Or:
inurl:profile.ps1
