Credits

The original idea and basis for this tool was from Jerry Ormans Microsoft blog article; however, his tool had stopped working for everyone years ago, and I needed one that worked. As such this is a rewrite based on that idea, but I would like to thank him for the (though non-working) starting point. Aesthetically its very similar with the addition of a number of features and fixes, as well as being updated to use current WMI.
