For help and/or information on my PowerShell Core setup head to the Development tab on my site: https://danamw.github.io

A couple notes about my scripts. I use "SET-ALIAS SAY WRITE-HOST" in all my scripts. So include that in your profile or edit all the SAY to WRITE-HOST, and edit out all the color codes. Lastly I Use the PowerShell environment $ENV:BASE in all my scripts. This is your base *.ps1 script folder. Feel free to write me an DanaMW at gmail.com if you want help. But I think just checking out the script will do it for ya. I wanted to mention that BinSM and DelaySM are a good example for writing to and reading from json files with PowerShell. Instructions on the net sucked but I worked it out and those two files work perfectly so you should have what you need to clip them and add them to your

PowerShell Scripts and snips for the learning curve. ALL are working in PowerShell Core 6.x unless they say otherwise. If you have improvements to them please share them with me, thats what this is about for me. Hope they help someone else. Enjoy. NOTE: In a lot of the scripts here I use console window resizing code. If you get weird error(s) just make the window larger than the displayed script and hit enter. In a perfect world will resize to the size of the script display. Same thing with the Settings Managers Note: I also use calls to Put-Pause, Put-WinPosition, Clearlogs Run-Checkdisk AND ASAY and/or Notify (which uses BurntToast- see below) Add them to the $env:BASE folder or edit out the calls.

Bin Menu is a simple console based menu that reads in what EXE's are in the base sub-folders and which PS1's are in the base and lists them on a menu for you. Comes with a Settings Manager script that's deals with the BinMenu.json settings and Adds. You can add your own entries to the end of the program menu list if you want up to 100. There is a toggle to show the add entries or not. Edit the json put the bin files in your base folder and run it. It will automatically run you through creating the INI it uses to store the Program Menu file list in. Have fun I did. And it works I use it EVERY day. (Structure of my bin folder is c:\bin is in my path and contains all my ps1 scripts. Then in all the sub folders of bin are all my programs I use that are portable. The list in the picture below sums it up.) See more extensive description in the readme in the folder. For Updates check the description in the readme in the BinMenu folder.

• Usage: BINMENU

This is my user.CSS to user.JS UserStyle to UserScript converter. It is for use on scripts that you need to covert for use in Tampermonkey or any of the *monkey JS injection extensions. One example of a good use is for Old Edge browser. Update: Can convert VERY large files now. I don't read the whole file in now I read it in one line at a time so files can be huge. I open this script up and scared my self lol. I had written it very near the beginning of my learning curve I COMPLETELY rewrote it. Much smaller WAY safer and incredibly faster. NOW it deserves to be a public facing script.

• Usage: Convert-Script1 -INFILE -OUTFILE

This clears most to all of your windows logs for you. (All of them except locked or in use as we fly by them). Update: Added Write Progress to the script so that there is some interaction with users in the form of a Progress Bar. Added the [bool] $Loud so that you can see the Verbose output. Clearlogs -Loud 1 or -Loud $True. It now gets the total number of log files, sets the math for the Progress bar and runs the routines. It also checks if it is ADMIN (Elevated) and if not, Elevates and runs. (It needs to be admin to delete clear logs). Should work for everyone well now. Added my own super simple progress bar that you can change the progress character. Updated to Version 2.

I use Vivaldi browser sometimes because it, like Firefox, can have a custom user interface. My only beef was that they update it a lot and I would have to edit the files and copy over the custom css to add my changes every time they did. Well this script does the changes for me. You will only need to edit the top two folders in the script once. Add your custom css and your Vivaldi install base folder then just run it.

• Usage: Put-Vivaldi
