Open Powershell in a specific directory from shortcut

This sounds like it should be so simple... I must be dumb.

All I want is to make a windows short-cut that opens Powershell into a specific directory:

I'm using the target:

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 
    -noexit -command {cd c:/path/to/open}

Put it just spits out the command as text.

Solution 1:

Use this command.

powershell.exe -noexit -command "cd c:\temp"

-NoExit: Do not exit after running startup commands.

Solution 2:

You can also set the "Start in" shortcut field to your desired location.

Solution 3:

Ok - you need to use the & parameter to specify it's a powershell comand & the syntax is slightly different:

%SystemRoot%\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe 
-noexit -command "& {cd c:\path\to\open}"

Solution 4:

Define a Shortcut for Powershell, and Open the properties of that, and finally in "Start" type the folder target to be opened when Powershell Shortcut is triggered
