assoc and ftype do not work under Powershell

Question

I thought all cmd commands work the same under Powershell. For example assoc and ftype do not work. Is there a way to make them work instead of swi

Answer 1

Oh, they'll work, but you have to call them through cmd.exe as they're not actual programs that reside on disk, but functionality built-in to cmd.exe like so:

cmd /c assoc
cmd /c ftype
