I’ve added some scripts to the Scripts & Tips forum:

A script to Monitor Startup Programs. Useful for detecting rogue apps like spyware etc

Is Drive Ready. A function to determine whether the drive is ready or not.

Automatically Create a System Restore Point. Useful at the start of a script that installs software or makes critical changes to the system.

Backup the Registry. Well worth scheduling to run regularly, or run manually before installing software.

Create a New Outlook Contact. Demonstrates how you can automatically add new contacts to Outlook. Could be used for importing data from another source, or could be integrated with a script that automatically parses order notification emails etc.
