Windows PowerShell contains a collection of pre-configured commands (also known as ''cmdlets'') which can be used either in the interactive shell environment, or within scripts. In addition, each command also has a pre-configured alias which typically shortens the amount of typing necessary to invoke a command, and often provides access to a command via a more familiar name. For example, the ''Get-ChildItem'' command for listing the contents of a directory may also be executed using the more familiar ''dir'' alias.
