; A shortcut should be created for this script and placed in the Windows 10/11
; user's startup folder to automatically enable the feature on boot/startup.
; The user's startup folder can be found using the following steps:
;

; 2. Enter the following: `shell:startup`
; 3. Press Enter key. A file explorer dialog will appear.
