They're not a horrendous idea. This is forked off of the script that I've been using for years. All of the settings it touches are very clear since each change it makes is configured right up front. I purposely disable SmartScreen because I don't need information about applications I'm running shipped off to Microsoft. Setting the current network to private is handy after a first-time install since Windows often doesn't prompt and defaults to public.
