Windows PowerShell

File C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1 cannot be loaded because the execution of scripts is disabled on this system. Please see "get-help about_signing" for more details.
At line:1 char:2
+ . <<<< 'C:\WINDOWS\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\Microsoft.PowerShell_profile.ps1'
PS C:\Documents and Settings\Prasad Nakarikanti>

You should read the documentation that the error you received refers to. Run the following in PowerShell:

get-help about_signing | more

Once you read and understand that, you will want to execute one of the following:

Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned
Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy AllSigned

Don't just go setting it to unrestricted though until you read the documentation in the about_signing help file.

After you have done that, restart PowerShell and your error should have gone away.
