Snippets
Crafting a MessageBox with PowerShell
With the switch of Windows PowerShell to PowerShell Core, a lot of semi-gui-like features of PowerShell have been lost for the price of multi-platform availability. If you still want to present messageboxes with PowerShell, read this blog from Edem Afenyo.
BgInfo with PowerShell
IT-veterans know it for a long time, and also IT newbees may have heard of it – bgInfo. BGInfo draws system information on the background of your desktop to make support and diagnosis easier. Now there is a PowerShell variant of bginfo, written in PowerShell. Look for Przemyslaw Klys blog on his work.
Images (manipulate, resize, combine, …)
Another blog from Przemyslaw Klys (he must have been bored over Christmas) presents his work on image manipulation with PowerShell. Amazing, job and the basis for BgInfo (see above). Beneath image manipulation, you can also create QR-Codes.
Find the Windows Version with PowerShell
At the times, Windows went to a scheduled release-channel it is good to know which version exactly is installed on a system. You may find this out in many different ways, with reading Xuan Nguyens blog on that topic.
Happy new year !
