2. Add clean.ps1, find.ps1, and start-as-admin.ps1 in c:\tools.

3. in start-as-admin.ps1, update your credentials. //TODO: might be possible to use encrypted password since it's in risk of being exposed. 

4. save profile.ps1 to `c:\windows\system32\windowspowershell\v1.0`

5. Restart your powershell

2. `admin`: start following tools in admin mode: 

    1. `np`: notepad++

    2. `code`: vscode

    3. `wt`: windows terminal

4. `clean`: Deep clean of everything in a visual studio solution folder. Deletes `bin`, `obj`, `packages`, also cleans `temp` folders, and `nuget cache`.
