See the screenshots below for the full overview of the script's functionalities
The script is separated into functions, and is best navigated in the PowerShell ISE, with the functions collapsed (Ctrl + M)
Function descriptions have been added on the closing braces, for easy navigation when collapsed (see screenshot below)
If you create a new function, you must add it to the "Get-MenuBackend" switch
If you come up with something useful to add to the script, please feel free to send a pull request!
