How To Use:

    1. Choose which version you want to use:
       - "Full Menu" Version: The same as the original one in the new context menu, and has multiple sub-menu items
       - Other Version: Doesn't have a sub-menu, it just directly opens the "Create Archive" menu. (The equivalent of clicking the "Additional Options" sub-item in the original)
    
    2. Double click the "Add_" reg file of whichever version you choose
    
    3. Restart Windows Explorer
       - You can restart it by opening Task Manager with Ctrl+Shift+Esc, then search it for "Windows Explorer", right click that and hit "Restart"

:: Cheat Command Wrapper Script
:: -----------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
:: This batch script acts as a wrapper for 'cheat.exe', enhancing its functionality
:: by allowing more intuitive command-line interactions. Specifically, it:
::
:: 1. Directly accesses cheatsheets or tags with a single argument.
:: 2. Facilitates search within a cheatsheet using multiple arguments, treating them
::    as a single search query.
:: 3. Dynamically resolves the paths to the community and personal cheatsheets
