Use standard error messages

Please change:
PowerForensics must be executed from an Administrator PowerShell

To:
This cmdlet requires administrator privileges. Start Windows PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option and try the command again.

I would make the change myself, but the repo doesn't have source files, like a .resx file or a .psd1 file with a user message hash table.

Also, the error message says that 'PowerForensics (the module) must be run in an elevated session. I don't think that's true. Invoke-ForensicBinShred without admin privileges.

If that changes, and every cmdlet requires admin privileges, we should say so in the cmdlet help topics, and change the error message to:

The cmdlets in the PowerForensics module require administrator privileges. Start Windows PowerShell with the "Run as administrator" option and try the command again.

It has been changed! I'm not familiar with the .resx file's purpose, but if that is the best way to do it I'm interested in learning. Do you have know of any documentation or examples that I can look at?

Wow, you're quick. Don't mean to mess up your Saturday night. I get a bit obsessive when I'm having fun.

Resource files (*.resx) isolate the user messages from the code so that they can be edited, post-processed without any risk to the code. It's not a PowerShell thing; it's used in all kinds of app. It might be Windows-specific.

Here's a bit from MSDN: https://msdn.microsoft.com/en-us/library/xbx3z216(v=vs.110).aspx

To see an example, here's one (of two) from the PSScriptAnalyzer project:

Oh its not a problem... I'm actually working on the code right now anyway. Thanks for the links. I'll check them out and see how I can get them added!
