In the preamble of an earlier post I mentioned that one of the little things that bugs me about Windows PowerShell ISE is that you can add tabs to the start of a line, but not to the end of a line. This is likely because it would interfere with the tab-completion feature. I still like to be able to put tabs on the end of my code lines though so that ......

So you’ve got a super awesome library/assembly that you want to share with others, but you’re too lazy to actually use NuGet to package it up and upload it to the gallery; or maybe you don’t know how to create a NuGet package and don’t have the time or desire to learn.

Most of the other content in this post can be found elsewhere, but I provide it for context and completeness. Read more at: http://blog.danskingdom.com... ......

There are a few different ways to create zip files in powershell, but not many that allow you to create one that is password protected. I found this post that shows how to do it using 7zip, so I thought I would share my modified solution. Here is the function I wrote that uses 7zip to perform the zip, and 7zip supports using a password to zip the files. ......
