How do I make it so that double-clicking a ps1 file opens powershell?

Question

I want to be able to double click a powershell script and it to open in powershell instead of notepad. Can I do that?

To run powershell scripts from the file you right-click the script then click run with powershell, can I make it so that double-clicking the script defaults to opening the script in powershell?

Try running `ftype Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1="C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "%1"` in cmd — Nico Nekoru, Jun 23 '20 at 22:04
@Lee_Dailey I want it to be universal and that doesn't work :( — Nikola Johnson, Jun 23 '20 at 22:09
@NekoMusume it says ```Access is denied. Error occurred while processing: Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1. ``` — Nikola Johnson, Jun 23 '20 at 22:11
@NekoMusume It works now, thank you. Is there a way I can pass arguments to the files? — Nikola Johnson, Jun 23 '20 at 22:15

Use

ftype Microsoft.PowerShellScript.1="C:\Windows\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe" "%1"

In administrator cmd. Ftype changes double-click behavior of certain filetypes specified by the assoc cmd command.
