       .SYNOPSIS 
        Sets the Compatibility flags for an application. 
       
       .EXAMPLE 
        Set-AppCompatFlag.ps1 -Path 'c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell_ISE.exe'
        This sets the RUNASADMIN flag for the ISE
        
       .EXAMPLE 
        Set-AppCompatFlag.ps1 -Path 'c:\windows\system32\WindowsPowerShell\v1.0\PowerShell_ISE.exe' -ComputerName RemoteServer01 
        This sets the RUNASADMIN flag for the ISE on RemoteServer01.
        
       .PARAMETER  Path
        The full path to the executable to flag for compatibility.
       
       .PARAMETER  ComputerName
        Computer to run the command against.  If this is a remote computer, the Remote Registry service needs to be running.  This defaults to the local machine.
       
       .PARAMETER  Scope
        The scope to set the compatibility flag at.  This can be the CurrentUser or the LocalMachine level.  The default is CurrentUser.
       
       .PARAMETER  Flag

            "RUNASADMIN",

            "WINSRV08SP1",
            "WINXPSP2", 
            "WINXPSP3",

            "HIGHDPIAWARE", 
            "256COLOR",
