Running OnedriveMapper from a shortcut

In some cases, your users might not want to use OnedriveMapper as a logon script, but want to manually start it, or both.

Powershell execution policy, and generally the complexity involved for most users in starting scripts can be avoided by building a ‘smart’ shortcut to the script with the following line as the ‘target’:

%SystemRoot%\System32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\powershell.exe -WindowStyle Hidden -ExecutionPolicy ByPass -File “C:\Program Files (x86)\Lieben.nu\OnedriveMapper\OnedriveMapper_v3.17.ps1”

Obviously you’ll have to modify the path used there 🙂

If I create a shortcut like this it briefly displays a command box and does nothing. If I copy and paste the target field in a command box the script runs as expected. Any bright ideas what would block the shortcut itself from running?
