But you should be able to create it with a normal text file and launch it in PowerShell.<\/p>\n\n\n\n<figure class=\"wp-block-image\"><img loading=\"lazy\" decoding=\"async\" width=\"1024\" height=\"455\" src=\"https:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6-1024x455.png\" alt=\"\" class=\"wp-image-3730\" srcset=\"https:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6-1024x455.png 1024w, https:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6-300x133.png 300w, https:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6-768x342.png 768w, https:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6-1536x683.png 1536w, https:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6-500x222.png 500w, https:\/\/www.incredigeek.com\/home\/wp-content\/uploads\/2020\/12\/image-6.png 1812w\" sizes=\"auto, (max-width: 1024px) 100vw, 1024px\" \/><\/figure>\n\n\n\n<p>The person at the following link did an excellent job at creating a system for this.
