• Fixed C:\found.* cacheing OneDrive Offline Files causing dism to fail they are now excluded
• Fixed C:\Users\defaultuser0-9* causing DISM to fail with NTUSER.dat being 0 Bytes. It now Excludes this

• Fixed WIM-Capture.bat & CleanupPar.bat checking for ~3,3 and ~2,2 instead of ~3,1 and 2,1 because ~3,3 is the third character with the next 3 characters not a substring. Even though it still worked for what it was needed for
• Fixed Accidental Deleting of Operating System files from forcedelete.bat when it was opened as admin by mistake with no first arguement
• Fixed Junctions, Symlinks, Shortcuts, Hard links getting messed with when capturing or applying the image

• Fixed CleanupPar.bat (fixed always having c drive as true, fixed check logic method and main for loop)
• Fixed Batch for loops special characters such as $ in file paths would mess up the scripts in WinPE. We Use Type command instead of usebaq and builtin forloop
• Fixed forcedelete.bat fallowing junctions / symlink dirs which would result in unintended files being deleted. It now Removes the Junction and SYMLINKD Dirs before starting the proccess. And I checked the del command with the flags I had deleted the link itself and not the file it was linking to
• Fixed removeatt.bat using %~1 instead of %1 which causes issues in some long paths or paths with special characters
• Added Dynamic Exclusion Lists Capture/Apply Configs that change based on relative path of the target drive for example \Windows\System32 and the target is \Windows\ it would change to \System32

• Added \EXTWINCAP$target file that is dynamcially generated when using WIM-Capture.bat
• Added forward slash support for WinInstall.bat, WinInstallVHDX-Custom.bat, WinInstallVHDX.bat, WIM-Capture.bat, WIMApply-Universal.bat, WIMApply-W.bat in case user error when inputting files
• Added WARNINGS to Dangerous scripts such as WIM-Extract.bat and forcedelete.bat
• Added ShortCutFixer.bat Command Line Utility & User Script. This will fix previous Windows Installations installed from ExternalWIN causing Junctions, SYMLINK Dirs, SYMLINK FILES to have W:\ instead of what they are suppose to be
• Added DirSafe-x64.exe, DirSafe-x86.exe And DirSafe-ARM64.exe. This is the enhanced version of the dir comamnd and actually works with recursion properly

• Improved WIM-Capture.bat Logic not saving C:\ExternalWIN* as there is VDISKS WIM Images and Backup of reg/boots that aren't really needed in a backup of the C Drive and will save hundreds of GB of space. You can still use WIM-Capture.bat to Capture C:\ExteranlWIN by only capturing it
• Improved WIMApply-W.bat it now enforces the volume as an Integer
• Improved WIM-Extract.bat. It now supports it's own Apply Exclusion List, EA flag, config options
