Welcome to a whimsical world where PowerShell scripts don their finest GUI attire! This repository provides a graphical menu system for PowerShell.
A Mad Observation: Why click through endless folders when you can have all your scripts dancing before you in a proper menu? Madness? Perhaps. Efficient? Absolutely!
- Visual Script Selection
- Customizable Menus
- User-Friendly Interface
- PowerShell Integration
Before tumbling down this particular rabbit hole, ensure you have:
- Windows PowerShell 5.1 or later
- .NET Framework (for GUI components)
- Administrative privileges (for certain script operations)
- A touch of madness (optional but recommended)
Clone or download this repository to your preferred location:
git clone https://github.com/GitTimeraider/PowershellMenu_GUI.git
"Why, sometimes I've believed as many as six impossible things before breakfast... but Windows security policies aren't one of them!"
Get-ChildItem -Path ".\PowershellMenu_GUI" -Recurse | Unblock-File
Execute the main menu script:
.\PowershellMenu_GUI.ps1
"Take your time," said the Hatter. "Configure it properly, or you'll be late for everything!"
The menu system can be customized by editing the configuration sections:
| Component | Purpose |
|---|---|
| Menu Items | Define which scripts appear in the GUI |
| Categories | Group related scripts together |
| Descriptions | Add helpful text for each menu option |
| Icons | Customize visual elements (if supported) |
- Place your PowerShell scripts in the designated folder
- Update the menu configuration to include your scripts
- Restart the GUI to see your changes
- Click menu items to execute scripts
- Hover for descriptions and tooltips
- Right-click for additional options (if implemented)
- Script parameters can be passed through the GUI
- Output is displayed in a dedicated console window
- Error handling prevents the entire menu from crashing
"I've had an idea! Not a good idea, mind you, but an idea nonetheless!"
Modify the appearance by adjusting:
- Color schemes
- Font styles
- Window dimensions
- Button layouts
The framework supports:
- Adding new menu categories
- Implementing sub-menus
- Creating custom dialog boxes
- Integrating with other PowerShell modules
- Some antivirus software may flag PowerShell GUIs as suspicious (they're just jealous of the pretty buttons)
- Running scripts with elevated privileges requires proper caution
- The GUI may behave unexpectedly if scripts take too long to execute
GUI Won't Launch
- Check PowerShell execution policy:
Get-ExecutionPolicy - Ensure .NET Framework is installed
- Verify script isn't blocked by Windows
Scripts Don't Execute
- Confirm script paths are correct
- Check for required permissions
- Review error messages in the output window
