Hey everyone! I created a PowerShell script to switch between two different desktop folders. While I'm not too knowledgeable about PowerShell, I managed to piece this together using AI. The script is intended to change the desktop folder in the registry whenever I run it, and it seems to work fine, but I encounter an error every time. The error message I'm getting is: "-Force: The term '-Force' is not recognized as the name of a cmdlet, function, script file, or operable program. Check the spelling of the name, or if a path was included, verify that the path is correct and try again. At C:.EXEToggle-Desktop.ps1:23 char:1".
Also, I'd love some feedback on the code itself. Do you think the AI did a satisfactory job, or could it be improved? I know some folks have reservations about using AI for coding, but it helped me out a lot here. Thanks in advance for any help!

You said you used AI to build this script, right? Well, maybe it's not the best idea to rely too much on it for critical tasks. But hey, at least you're giving it a shot! Just keep an eye on those errors and try to understand what they mean.
The error is happening because the `-Force` parameter should be on the same line as the `Stop-Process` command. Try rewriting that part of your script so it looks like this:
```powershell
Stop-Process -Name explorer -Force
```
This should eliminate the error you're seeing. Let me know if that works for you!
Thanks for the tip! I'll give it another shot when I wake up.
