I use Powershell, here is what I do,  
you can define aliases in `$profile`:

```nohighlight
New-Alias julia1.6.0 C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Julia-1.6.0\\bin\\julia.exe
New-Alias julia1.5.3 C:\\Users\\user\\AppData\\Local\\Programs\\Julia-1.5.3\\bin\\julia.exe
New-Alias julia julia1.5.3

```

to see where it is and edit it:

```nohighlight
echo $profile
notepad $profile

```
