Company-POS Auto-Setup

This project helps automate the first-time setup of a Windows-based Point of Sale (POS) terminal after a fresh install. It takes care of things like setting the IP address, creating POS users, renaming the computer, tweaking the taskbar, and turning off those annoying first sign-in prompts — basically speeding up the boring setup stuff so you can move on to the real work faster.
