If you use Windows and don’t use Powershell you should. Really you should. It’s great for getting all the little repetitive things out of the way.

Like for example enabling/disabling your Fusion Log every time you need to figure out why assembly binding has gone wrong. So here you go. Just put these in your profile:

function global:Enable-FusionLog {
	Remove-ItemProperty HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Fusion -name EnableLog -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
	[void](New-ItemProperty  HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Fusion -name EnableLog -propertyType dword -ErrorAction Stop)
	Set-ItemProperty  HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Fusion -name EnableLog -value 1 -ErrorAction Stop
	Write-Host "Fusion log enabled.  Do not forget to disable it when you are done"
}
function global:Disable-FusionLog {
	Remove-ItemProperty HKLM:Software\Microsoft\Fusion -name EnableLog -ErrorAction SilentlyContinue
	Write-Host "Fusion log disabled"
}

Awesome.

Also we talked Powershell at yesterday’s GNO.NET and Cody Gros showed PowerGUI - which a totally free and seemingly awesome powershell editor. Woo!
