+# PowerShell
+
+## Symlink
+
+Create a symbolic link e.g. for XAMPP's htdocs directory:
+
+```powershell
+New-Item -ItemType SymbolicLink -Path '.\symlink-name' -Target "C:\Users\user\data\git\project\"
+```
+
+`symlink-name` is the name of the symbolic link. The target is where the symbolic link actually resolves to.
+
+## Free Port 80
+
+Windows sometimes blocks port 80 due to the HTTP Service, which can be stopped with the following command to make port 80 locally available e.g. for WinNMP, wamp or XAMPP.
+
+```powershell
+net stop http
+```
+
+## Block Windows 10 telemetry
+
+```powershell
+Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Policies\DataCollection\ -nameAllowTelemetry -Value 0
+Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\DiagTrack\ -name Start -Value 4
+Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Control\WMI\Autologger\Diagtrack-Listener\ -name Start -Value 0
+Set-ItemProperty -Path HKLM:\SYSTEM\CurrentControlSet\Services\wuauserv\ -name Start -Value 4
+```
+
+Edit file `%windir%\system32\drivers\etc\hosts` with admin privileges and add:
+
+```plain
+# block known windows hosts
