PowerShell cmdLet Invoke-Item

invoke-item performs the «default action» on the specified item. On most system, the following command opens foo.txt in a text editor: 
invoke-item foo.txt
The following command does not necessarily run the script named xyz.ps1. It's possible it is opened in an editor: 
Invoke-item .\xyz.ps1

Alias

An alias for invoke-item is ii.

Opening a directory in the explorer

invoke-item comes in handy to open a given directory in the explorer: 
PS C:\users\rene> ii $env:temp
This is, imho, especially useful when I want to open the current directory in the explorer 
PS C:\users\rene> ii .
For completness' sake, the same thing can be achieved in cmd.exe with the start command: 
C:\users\rene> start .
