The provided PowerShell script iterates the CLSID registry keys under "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Classes\CLSID" and creates directories based on the CLSID values.
Each directory is created in a subfolder called "folders" with a name in the format "CLSID.CLSID". The purpose of this script is to reveal and highlight the list of "hidden" directories on Windows that correspond to CLSID entries in the registry. If a directory with the specific CLSID name doesn't exist, the script creates it and outputs a message indicating its creation.
