Example: You have a shortcut s to SomeProgram in the current directory.
In cmd.exe, you can type s and it will launch the program.
In PowerShell, typing s gives:
The term 's' is not recognized as a cmdlet, function, operable program, or script file. Verify the term and try again.
If you type s.lnk or SomeProgram, it runs the program just fine.
How can I configure PowerShell to execute shortcuts just like programs?
On my Vista system typing S won’t launch a lnk file unless I have the environment variable PATHEXT set with .lnk in the list. When I do. S will work in cmd.exe and I have to do .\S in powershell.
