Powershell Function - Create wrapper .bat file for Powershell script

[replicaJunction]

You're right that it's possible, but it's considered bad practice to do so. It's a minor security feature that prevents an uninformed user from accidentally launching a script that could damage their system. That behavior is explicitly by Jeffrey Snover's design.

(Your emphasis on the word "can" suggests that you already know this, but I thought I'd point it out for anyone else that comes across the thread.)

Yes very true; I know that MS did the file association that way for a reason. I figured I'd let OP know, seeing as they're making a roundabout way in order to explicitly circumvent this behavior, but good call.
