   I do not understand what a "power shell" is.   
   I do understand what a "command line" is, so the "netsh" commands working   
   at a command line make sense to me.   
      
   But how do I get to a "power shell command line"?   
   Googling, I found out I can do this:   
    Start -> Run -> powershell   
   But is that an "admin" power shell?   
      
   I really don't understand at all why a second command line even exists.   
   Can you give me a sentence or two on why I would use powershell over the   
   command line?
