/*
 * Compile this program by simply doing:
 * 
 * csc.exe PSLauncher.cs
 * 
 */

// Requires powershell V2

/*
 * The Problem:
 *      .ps1 scripts do not integrate with the shell nicely.  You cannot
 *      simply associate powershell.exe with .ps1 and have them run when u
 *      double click them.  Also, the execution of script you click on may
 *      be blocked by security policies.  Thirdly, some powershell scripts
 *      require ps to be launched with some command line arguments, to frequently
 *      run such a script then requires keyboard entry or awkward batch files.
 * 
 * The Solution:
 *      Compile this program, and associate it as the default launcher for .ps1.
 *      follow the usage details below, and you will be able to launch .ps1 scripts
 *      from the shell with mouse alone, and as added benafit you get to put
 *      ps cmd line options in your script, and you can run scripts invisible.
 * 
 * USAGE:
 *      Put the first two characters of your script as "#!"
 *      Follow that with the full path to powershell.exe (incl fname) or
 *      if powershell.exe is in the path you can just put #!powershell.exe
 * 
 *      The remainder part of that line will be passed to powershell.exe as
 *      arguments.  For example, -STA.  The filename of the script is also
 *      passed as "-file %1" along with "-ExecutionPolicy UnRestricted".
 * 
 *      The second line of the file, if it is prefixed by "#-" can contain "meta arguments"
 *      for powershell.  Currently the only one allowed is "Hidden" which will supress the
 *      powershell window and discard any output from the script.
 * 
 *      If a .ps1 script without these magics #! is encountered, it will be passed
 *      to powershell.exe as above, if powershell.exe is in the path or default location.
 * 
 * Example:
 *      #!powershell.exe -STA
 *      #-Hidden
 *      ...rest of script...
 * 
 * 
 *  or
 * 
 * 
 *      #!C:\WINDOWS\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0\powershell.exe -noexit
 *      ...rest of a script you don't want to exit when it ends...
