Set new WINS in Windows with PoSH GUI script

It is a good GUI script which checks if the new WINS IP is the same as the previous, and checks if the IP is kosher. You can't use 1.2.3.4.5.6 or 900.900.900.900 or 10.10, for example.

Enable Shared PC with registry

We need to check if this script really enables Shared PC mode.
It works with registry, but there is also a way to work with Cim/WMI.
In the next few days I will check what is better.
