Windows Explorer context menu for managing WIM files

Mounting and un-mounting Windows Images (wim files) is a simple task using dism.exe or imagex.exe at the command prompt, but if you do this every day you might get annoyed by typing the same string of commands over and over again. A few years back my colleague Claude Henchoz shared a script to add some WIM management options to the Windows Explorer context menu.

I have now taken these scripts and updated them so that they use dism.exe exclusively and also added a 3rd party utility that runs the commands in elevated mode, so now we can also use the Explorer context menu options with UAC on.
