BurntToast is a popular PowerShell module that allows users to create custom toast notifications in Windows. Toast notifications are those small pop-up messages that appear in the corner of your screen, often used by applications to alert you to new messages, updates, or other important information. BurntToast makes it easy to create these notifications with custom text, images, and sounds.

Examples:

1. Installing BurntToast:

   Before you can create toast notifications, you need to install the BurntToast module. Open PowerShell with administrative privileges and run the following command:

   Install-Module -Name BurntToast -Force -Scope CurrentUser

   This command installs the BurntToast module for the current user.

2. Creating a Simple Toast Notification:

   Once BurntToast is installed, you can create a simple toast notification with the following command:

   New-BurntToastNotification -Text "Hello, World!", "This is a simple toast notification."

   This command will display a notification with the title "Hello, World!" and the message "This is a simple toast notification."

3. Adding an Image to Your Notification:

   You can enhance your notification by adding an image. Make sure the image file is accessible from your script. Here's how you can do it:

   $ImagePath = "C:\Path\To\Your\Image.png"
   New-BurntToastNotification -Text "Hello, World!", "This is a toast notification with an image." -AppLogo $ImagePath

   Replace C:\Path\To\Your\Image.png with the path to your image file.

4. Scheduling a Toast Notification:

   You can schedule a toast notification to appear at a specific time using the Start-ScheduledTask cmdlet. First, create a PowerShell script file (e.g., ToastNotification.ps1) with your notification command:

   New-BurntToastNotification -Text "Scheduled Notification", "This notification was scheduled to appear at a specific time."

   Then, create a scheduled task to run this script at your desired time:

   $Action = New-ScheduledTaskAction -Execute "PowerShell.exe" -Argument "-File C:\Path\To\ToastNotification.ps1"
   $Trigger = New-ScheduledTaskTrigger -At 9:00AM -Once
   Register-ScheduledTask -Action $Action -Trigger $Trigger -TaskName "MyToastNotification"

   Replace C:\Path\To\ToastNotification.ps1 with the path to your script file, and adjust the time as needed.
