Walkthrough's for PowerShell
See original GitHub issuePrerequisites
- I have written a descriptive issue title.
- I have searched all issues to ensure it has not already been reported.

VS Code has a contribution point of Walkthroughs that appear in the Getting Started/Welcome view when the user opens vscode:
When you click on one, you get this:

This would be a fantastic place to configure those polarizing options like:

powershell.integratedConsole.showOnStartup
) I’d love this one! - showing the command explorer
Proposed Design
Here are the docs on this: https://code.visualstudio.com/api/references/contribution-points#contributes.walkthroughs
Shouldn’t be too much work to add the contribution and some small code that actually changes these things (just commands).
