Create a balloon notification in PowerShell

Q. How can I create a balloon notification for Windows in PowerShell?

A. To create a notification in Windows use the following PowerShell as a foundation. Note you can change the type of tip icon to something such as Error and all of the other text.

[void] [System.Reflection.Assembly]::LoadWithPartialName("System.Windows.Forms")$objNotifyIcon = New-Object System.Windows.Forms.NotifyIcon $objNotifyIcon.Icon = "C:WindowsFolder.ico"$objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipIcon = "Warning" $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipText = "Writing a notification." $objNotifyIcon.BalloonTipTitle = "Test Notification"$objNotifyIcon.Visible = $True $objNotifyIcon.ShowBalloonTip(5000)

Below is the resulting balloon.
