Windows Tweaks

Windows tweaks made after a clean Windows 10 install

Create Windows Libraries

Use WindowsAPICodePack and matching ...Shell to create Windows Libraries, include folders, set DefaultSaveFolder location, and set the LibraryType: Generic, Documents, Music, Pictures, Videos.

How to run

I'm unsure why right clicking the PowerShell file and clicking "Run with PowerShell" returns the following error:

$lib.LibraryType = "$($gamesLibraryType)"

string is missing the terminator: "

Workaround

  1. Ensure you've right clicked windows navigation pane and clicked Show Libraries
  2. Ensure your PowerShell execution policy allows running scripts. i.e. Run PowerShell as Administrator Set-ExecutionPolicy Unrestricted
  3. In the directory with the .dll files, (shift + right click) and "Open PowerShell window here". Alternatively, navigate to the folder via PowerShell. Set-Location "C:\CreateWindowsLibraries" Note PowerShell can't find locations with underscores in the path.
  4. Copy contents of PowerShell file (.ps1).
  5. Paste into open PowerShell window.
  6. Press Enter to run.

Things I Got stuck on...

Unsure how to set

  1. Icon using IconResourceId property.
  2. Public Save Location as property isn't exposed.

Consider these limitations and set manually using the UI
