.Synopsis
   PoShSysX: External SysInternal toolbox via PowerShell
.DESCRIPTION
   This cmdlet generates a powershell string that can be run on the localhost (default) or used as scriptblock for other tool (via clipboard).
   When executed, connects \\live.sysinternals.com\tools\ as PSDrive and runs .exe from that path. 
   Always latest version of tools. No install to disk. (But slower...)
.EXAMPLE
   SysX psping 8.8.8.8
.EXAMPLE
   Invoke-SysExternals -Search *
.EXAMPLE
   SysX -Search *64
.EXAMPLE
   Invoke-SysX psping.exe '-?'
.EXAMPLE
   SysX psping '8.8.8.8 -nobanner' -Drive X -Clip
.INPUTS
   Search Item | Tool (+ Params) (+ DriveLetter)
.OUTPUTS
   Search result | Command to clipboard | Command result
.NOTES
   Some SysInternals require GUI|Admin
