UO Outlands Network Drive Profile Mapper

This script lets you store your profiles for Classic UO and Razor on a network share, in dropbox or google drive if you have the google drive as a network mapping.

This script needs to be placed in the folder on the network share where your profiles are being stored.

To run the script you need to open a normal privilege PowerShell window from your local machine and execute the following.
powershell -ExecutionPolicy ByPass <path_to_script>

As this script needs admin privileges and needs to run from a network share we have to bypass execution restrictions.

Updated to include razor macros and scripts folders.
