Loading New Windows 7 Modules

Windows 7 comes with a bunch of modules that are not loaded by default. Use this to see which modules are available:

Get-Module -listAvailable

For example, to load a module you should use Import-Module and the module name you want to load:

Import-Module BitsTransfer

Try this to see which new cmdlets this gets you:

Get-Command -module BitsTransfer

Strictly speaking, no modules are loaded by default - all have to be loaded by Import-Module.
