In my PowerShell terminal, I can use ~ as shorthand for my user account home directory.
If I change location to somewhere under this path, on my desktop I get the following:
C:\Users\Paul> cd ~\source
C:\Users\Paul\source>
However, on my Surface, I get a slightly different result:
C:\Users\Paul> cd ~\source
~\source>
I like the shorter path in the second example, but I have no idea what the difference is between these two configurations.
Is there a setting someplace I need to enable on my desktop to get the shorter paths?
