## MAJOR refactoring done ##

* All .cmd Command scripts
  * Brandind / Settings variables now set via .bin/Scripts/settings/main.py
  * Window titles now set using KIT_FULL_NAME

* All .py Python scripts
  * All ClientDir paths should now use KIT_SHORT_NAME
  * Long lines wrapped to better follow PEP8
  * String formatting now more consistant
  * Updated run_program() and popen_program() calls to use lists
    * (e.g. cmd = ['', '', '']; run_program(cmd))
    ** Should improve clarity IMO
  * Update window titles AFTER init_global_vars() so KIT_FULL_NAME can be used

* Branding / Settings
  * Support tech now configurable
    * (e.g. "Please let {tech} know and they'll look into it")
  * Timezone now configurable
  * Upload info can now be disabled/enabled in .bin/Scripts/settings/main.py

* CHKDSK
  * Combined read-only and fix scripts and added menu

* DISM
  * Combined ScanHealth and RestoreHealth scripts and added menu

* functions/common.py
  * BREAKING: run_program() and popen_program() no longer accept 'args' variable

* Misc
  * Removed Win7 NVMe launcher
    * Never used and Win7 is deprecated
  * Removed "DeviceRemover" and "Display Driver Uninstaller" launchers
    * Both cut too deep and were not useful

    * Too many tools unused.
    * Added .url links to the websites in case the tools are needed
  * Replaced WinDirStat with TreeSizeFree
