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

Expanding on Eric's answer, here's how to make assoc and ftype "just work" in powershell.

Add this to your powershell profile -- you can just run $Profile in powershell to find your profile file:

function assoc { cmd /c assoc $args }
function ftype { cmd /c ftype $args }
