Getting started with PowerShell is easy. In fact, it's easy enough for some people that they just
dive in and start using it every day with little formal knowledge. At some point though, everyone needs a little help. The PowerShell console has a rich set of cmdlets and built-in help that can be useful for learning how to use the PowerShell language correctly.

working with items in the recycle bin. You were asked to calculate how much space the recycle bin is using and then restore a file.

Although, I'm sure there are several ways to meet the challenge. My solution is far from the only solution.

Finds threads over consuming CPU in the selected process and reduces their average CPU consumption
based on the agressiveness argument. The higher the agressiveness, the more CPU throttling is performed. The number can be between 1 and 10 including decimal places. A duration can be set, in minutes or parts there of, for how long the selected process will be monitored/adjusted but if set to 0 then the process will be monitored/adjusted until it exits.
