@bitcrazed can hopefully back me up here, but cmd is frozen and not getting any more changes, and we generally want people to be using the latest Powershell release.

ARGH. We meant to do that before pushing this. We were talking about this last week for exactly this reason.

We may also want to follow the Windows Shell option that dictates what shell lives in your WIN+X menu.

@DHowett-MSFT if that's something we can query, let's please do that.

The Windows team should allow read only access to the user's chosen default, so the Terminal can respect that

The registry key set by taskbar settings is:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Advanced\DontUsePowerShellOnWinX

The default is 0 to use powershell I believe.

Is it ok to query that?
