Enable ClearType using PowerShell

When I remote desktop to Windows machines most of the time the fonts just looks ugly. This can be improved by enabling ClearType and I do this every time I connect to a box which I do several times a day. Below is a Powershell code that enables ClearType which I shamelessly copied from StackOverflow.

	$signature = @'
	[DllImport("user32.dll")]
	public static extern bool SystemParametersInfo(
	uint uiAction,
	uint uiParam,
	uint pvParam,
	uint fWinIni);
	'@
	$SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING = 0x004B
	$SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE = 0x200B
	$SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE = 0x1
	$SPIF_SENDCHANGE = 0x2
	$FE_FONTSMOOTHINGCLEARTYPE = 0x2
	$winapi = Add-Type -MemberDefinition $signature -Name WinAPI -PassThru
	[void]$winapi::SystemParametersInfo($SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHING, 1, 0, $SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE -bor $SPIF_SENDCHANGE)
	[void]$winapi::SystemParametersInfo($SPI_SETFONTSMOOTHINGTYPE, 0, $FE_FONTSMOOTHINGCLEARTYPE, $SPIF_UPDATEINIFILE -bor $SPIF_SENDCHANGE)
