The above code will give error if executed directly.
This is a MODULE.

To be able to execute this screensaver, copy the above code in a txt file, and save the file with ".psm1" extension in the directory- "..\Documents\windowspowershell\modules"



The only thing to keep in mind is that-
Name of the .psm1 file should be same as the Folder name you create under "modules" folder.

(See above FOO.psm1 file under FOO folder)


Now, open Powershell session-
Run-
Get-Module -ListAvailable



You will see the name of the .psm1 file in Module name. (FOO in this case)

Now you need to make this module available to the current session

Run-
Import-Module FOO -PassThru



THATS IT..

To see all imported commands in this module, type "Get-Command -module FOO"

now type "Start-ScreenSaver" and see the magic
