The following two scripts are co-developed with Ramesh Srinivasan (the author of [WinHelpOnline.com](https://www.winhelponline.com)). More specifically, he wrote them in VBScript first, and I re-wrote them in PowerShell to support Unicode. Then, he credited me in his blog post and we added additional bits to support Windows 10. Back then, I knew zero about PowerShell and its philosophy, so, these scripts are unlike any other PowerShell scripts. In fact, they generate graphical message boxes.
