Quake Style Powershell Console v2

Edit: Updated to fix a problem when there are spaces in the path where Console2.exe is.

I decided I would get this idea working again, when I did, it fell short a few times. I needed a few extra features:

• Elevated Powershell Console
• x64 Console
• I wanted it to work without adding anything to the %path% environmental variable

The goal

win + `

=

What you need

• Console2 x64
• Elevate.exe, c version (Blog Post)
• or Elevate.exe, c# version (Blog Post)
• AutoHotKey script, Console.xml config file, and launch.cmd
• AutoHotKey

Instructions

1. Download and install AutoHotKey (while you are at it, grab the autocorrect script here
2. Download and extract Console2 x64 to a folder.
3. Extract my script file into the same folder
4. Make sure all files are unblocked (right click, properties, unblock if they are).
5. Create a shortcut to QuakeMode.ahk in the Startup folder in the start menu

How to use

Press the windows key + ` (tilde, above tab) to activate the console. You will see a few command windows run, and you will be prompted to put in your password (or press yes) to elevate the process. If you have UAC disabled, turn it back on :P
