Whats New
This was to be just a simple bug fix release but as time went on other items in the todo list was added in as mentioned below.

Please note that on Windows 11 22000 and later the title bar colors may not get set correctly and may require a 2nd reboot. Most times the active color is set but the non-active color is not.

Also some theme elements on Win 11 may not work as expected due to changes in later cumulative updates.

+ Using the 'The Slim win 11 Start Menu' option will now show just two Apps 'Settings' and 'File Explorer'. Both are useful items and other code been added to prevent m$ adding more after a few reboots. The user can add their own Apps/Programs links if required later as the change in code does not affect that side.

+ Updated the Dark Theme parts to hopefully set the colors correctly for latest insider builds etc.

+ Added new General option: AHCI power management - This only enables the hidden item within the Power Options section and is set to the OS's default, it is then up to the user to adjust as required. This could cause serious issues and non boooting OS, so please make sure you have a working backup, if you want to use the 'feature'.

+ Added Win10/11 option: Create Restore Point - This when used will add a desktop context menu item of same name which should be OS translated, it is a on-demand item that when used will manually create a system restore point so that you can use to restore the system if something goes wrong. This uses Powershell and you will see a couple of windows appear before the progress one appears.

+ Added new win 11 {2262x+} option: 'Desktop Stickies', this is a currently hidden OS feature that may not be added by M$ when the latest OS is released. You will need to be connected to the internet as it appears to connect and download parts for it to work, or you will just see a blank window with a X to close.

+ Various code changes to log entries and functions, tidied some code sections as well.
