How to disable FIPS using PowerShell

I always forget about this, so I thought I would add myself a remainder

FIPS can be disabled by editing the registry and restarting the server:
New-ItemProperty - Path HKLM\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FIPSAlgorithmPolicy -name Enabled -value 0; Restart-Computer -Force

    There is an extra space before the Path parameter. It should be -Path

    Thanks for this. It helped me get old software working on a server. Note, there is no need to restart the computer, just updating the registry setting is enough.

    Wrong, buzzzz. the path is HKLM:\System\CurrentControlSet\Control\Lsa\FIPSAlgorithmPolicy . you left out the colon
