Pull Request Overview

This PR adds clarification about the return codes from lodctr.exe and unlodctr.exe commands. Both utilities return exit code 0 when the command syntax is valid, regardless of whether the operation actually succeeded, which can cause confusion when checking for errors programmatically.

Key Changes:

• Added a Remarks section to both command documentation files explaining that exit code 0 only indicates valid syntax, not successful execution
• Fixed heading level for the Remarks section in lodctr.md from #### to ##
