# PowerShell script to disable Windows power management on all currently connected serial ports, including USB adapters
# In simpler terms, it prevents Windows from turning off connected serial devices to save power.
# Equivalent to right-clicking on a serial port device in Device Manager > Properties > "Power Management" Tab > Unchecking "Allow the computer to turn off this device to save power."

$hubs = Get-CimInstance -ClassName Win32_SerialPort | Select-Object Name, DeviceID, Description
$powerMgmt = Get-CimInstance -ClassName MSPower_DeviceEnable -Namespace root\wmi

# A basic script for uninstalling app packages in Windows 10/11, including those pre-installed with Windows
#
# Note: If you get an error about the script not being allowed to run, the below command will change the execution polciy temporarily for one session only:
# Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned -Scope Process
#
# To execute the script, open a Powershell window to the directory with the script and run the following command using your scripts file name (and don't forget the .\ )
# .\WhateverScriptName.ps1

# Description: This script will automatically copy the necessary GPU drivers from your current host machine into a Hyper-V Virtual Machine
# so you can pass through the GPU to the VM. You should run this whenever you update your graphics drivers on the host.
#
# Author: ThioJoe  --   https://github.com/ThioJoe
#
# Note: Currently this only works for Nvidia GPUs. But it does support if you have multiple GPUs.
#
# OPTIONAL ARGUMENTS:
# -debug  |  Enables debug messages that pause the script for each step (No additional string required, just add -debug)
# -name   |  Sets the virtual machine name so it doesn't need to ask

@echo off
:: Note: Lines beginning with "REM" or :: are comments
:: Script by: https://github.com/thiojoe
:: Purpose: Creates a much more user friendly output for the Microsoft Error Lookup Tool (err.exe). It parses the original output and modifies the text.
:: Usage: Just call the batch file with command prompt along with the error code the same as you would with err.exe
:: Example:  error.bat 50
:: Recommended to rename this script to something shorter like 'error.bat'. Must be next to the lookup tool exe file.

:: Cheat Command Wrapper Script
:: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: This batch script acts as a wrapper for 'cheat.exe', enhancing its functionality
:: by allowing more intuitive command-line interactions. Specifically, it:
::
:: 1. Directly accesses cheatsheets or tags with a single argument.
:: 2. Facilitates search within a cheatsheet using multiple arguments, treating them
::    as a single search query.
:: 3. Dynamically resolves the paths to the community and personal cheatsheets

### Instructions for copying drivers to VM - Will likely need to do this before running this script
# NOTE: Instead of manually copying the files, if you have an Nvidia GPU you can use my other script called "Copy-GPU-Drivers-VM.ps1" to do it automatically
# 1. Open C:\Windows\System32 on host machine and copy any files beginning with "nv" (Except nvspinfo.exe and NvAgent.dll , which are unrelated)
# 2. Place those files into the System32 folder on the VM
# 3. On the VM, create the following directory:  C:\Windows\System32\HostDriverStore\FileRepository
# 4. For Nvidia GPUs, open C:\Windows\System32\DriverStore\FileRepository, copy any folders beginning with "nv_" (The number of folders should match the number of GPUs, or at least number of different models of GPU)

# This script will search through the Windows Registry to find file extensions that are not shown even when the "Hide extensions for known file types" option is disabled.
# It does this by looking for file types with the NeverShowExt property set, as well as any CLSID references associated with the file types.

#
# How to Use:
# 1. Open PowerShell and navigate to the path containing this script using the 'cd' command.
# 2. Run the following command to allow running scripts for the current session:
#        Set-ExecutionPolicy -ExecutionPolicy unrestricted -Scope Process
# 3. Without closing the PowerShell window, run the script by typing the name of the script file starting with  .\  for example:

How To Use:

    1. Choose which version you want to use:
       - "Full Menu" Version: The same as the original one in the new context menu, and has multiple sub-menu items
       - Other Version: Doesn't have a sub-menu, it just directly opens the "Create Archive" menu. (The equivalent of clicking the "Additional Options" sub-item in the original)
    
    2. Double click the "Add_" reg file of whichever version you choose
    
    3. Restart Windows Explorer
       - You can restart it by opening Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then search it for "Windows Explorer", right click that and hit "Restart"
