#### Lockscreen Image
This function allows for changing the lockscreen image.
It works by taking ownership of the existing profile image files, and replacing them with the new image supplied by the user.
This is a modified version of [LoganDark's lockscreen-img script](https://git.ameliorated.info/LoganDark/lockscreen-img).

This function allows for elevating the user to administrator. Elevating the user disables the password requirement when trying to run an executable as administrator. However, this has large security implications, thus why it is not the default setting.

This function allows for installing a WSL distribution.
Firstly, it fetches the distro download link from this git repository (`links.txt`), and downloads the distro from said link\*. Once the distro is downloaded, the script extracts and places the distro in `<User's Local AppData Folder>\AME-WSL`, and subsequently installs the distro by running the distro's `.exe` file contained within.
After the distro has been installed, the script sends several commands to the distro that apply the username and password(s) supplied by the user.
\*If the distro link includes apps.microsoft.com, [store.rg-adguard.net](https://store.rg-adguard.net/) is used to fetch the download link.
##### Remove WSL Distro
This function allows for removing a WSL distribution.
At its core, it does this by unregistering the distro using the following command:
WSL --unregister <WSLDistro>
And subsequently removing the distro's installation files located in `<User's Local AppData Folder>\AME-WSL`.

#### NVIDIA Control Panel
This function allows for installing or uninstalling NVIDIA Control Panel. This is useful since NVIDIA Control Panel no longer properly installs during a driver installation* due to it using an APPX deployment (Not supported in AME).
Firstly, it fetches the store link from this git repository (`links.txt`), and fetches the download link from [store.rg-adguard.net](https://store.rg-adguard.net/). Afterwards, it downloads NVIDIA Control Panel from said link\*. Once NVIDIA Control Panel is downloaded, the script extracts and places it in `<System Drive>\Program Files\NVIDIA Control Panel`, and subsequently creates a start menu shortcut for it.
For removal, it simply removes the `<System Drive>\Program Files\NVIDIA Control Panel` directory, as well as the start menu shortcut.
Note: Even though NVIDIA Control Panel installation failes during a driver installation, it still creates the necessary NVIDIA Control Panel files in `<System Drive>\Program Files\WindowsApps`. If this is the case, the script will attempt to use those files instead of downloading them.
\*Standard drivers do not have this issue, however those have been discontinued by NVIDIA.
## Known Issues
Some keyboard languages may not work, and a few are improperly tagged. This will be fixed in a future release.
