Belts, power steering would be likely culprit. Do them all.

Agree. PS belt is the likely culprit.

"When a legislature undertakes to proscribe the exercise of a citizen's constitutional rights it acts lawlessly and the citizen can take matters into his own hands and proceed on the basis that such a law is no law at all."

One or more of your belts is too loose. Find out which one is the culprit, then tighten it. One way you can determine which belt is the culprit is to start the engine and spray some belt dressing on one belt at a time until the squeal goes away. As soon as it goes away, you'll know which belt is too loose.

Also, if it's loose, you might want to explore reasons why it is loose. Is it an old belt that is stretching (worn)? Was it removed for other maintenance, then re-installed?

Not sure what car you have, but one of the problems, if the belts are all recent and tight, is that the crank pulley is dying. Mine started out squealing just in the morning, I replaced the belts, and the problem continued. As it got colder outside, the problem got worse until it would barely ever *stop* squealing. I pulled the pulley on suggestion from someone here and it fell apart in two pieces. $150 from the Mitsu dealer for the part.

My car is a '95 Eclipse GSX. Others also have this problem, but I'm not sure what models.
