thanks

function prompt
{
$cwd = (get-location).Path

[array]$cwdt=$()
$cwdi=-1
do {$cwdi=$cwd.indexofany(”\\”,$cwdi+1) ; [array]$cwdt+=$cwdi} until($cwdi -eq -1)

if ($cwdt.count -gt 3) {
$cwd = $cwd.substring(0,$cwdt[0]) + “\..” + $cwd.substring($cwdt[$cwdt.count-3])
}

$host.UI.RawUI.WindowTitle = “$(hostname) – $env:USERDNSDOMAIN\$($env:username)”
$host.UI.Write(”Yellow”, $host.UI.RawUI.BackGroundColor, “[PS]“)
” $cwd>”
}
