  2. 'Purpose: Ever wanted to run a VBS script from a CMD but do it all from ONE file.
  3. '         This converts a VBS file into a CMD Subroutine that recreates
  4. '         The VBS code in \%TEMP%\ folder and launches it from inside that CMD.
  5. '         The name of the Subroutine matches the name of the VBS file.
