Using Classic Shell Inside of PowerShell

Since both PowerShell and the classic cmd.exe are console-based, it is very easy to switch between both of them. If you must use a classic shell command that is not working right inside of PowerShell, simply switch to the classic shell temporarily. Enter: cmd (ENTER). Do whatever you need to do, and return to PowerShell: exit (ENTER).
