  password => 's3kr1t',
}

Configures a windows environment variable, for example:

windows::environment { 'PYTHONPATH':
  value => 'C:\my_python_path'
}

windows::firewall_rule

# Allow ICMP ping.

  protocol => 'icmpv4:8,any',
}

# Allow Python 2.7.
windows::firewall_rule { 'python2.7':
  program => 'C:\Python27\python.exe',
}

windows::path

windows::path { 'C:\Python27': }

windows::regsvr32

Registers a DLL (or other control) specificed by the resource's name as a component in the registry.

windows::screen_saver

Configures a screen saver (specified by the given user name). For example, this configures the blank screen saver for the user justin to engage after 10 minutes, and requiring a password to log back in:

windows::screen_saver { 'justin':
  secure  => true,
  timeout => '10m',
}

Unzips a file on Windows using Microsoft native APIs. For example:

windows::unzip { 'C:\compressed.zip':
