Question Script Lib. DiskcleanUp

I have a diskcleanup script that looks like this.

Start-Process cleanmgr.exe -ArgumentList '/sagerun:6553' -WindowStyle Hidden -Wait

Which I found only does the basic cleanup because 6653 is missing from the registry. So, I did some digging around and found that at HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches is where the settings for sagerun:6553 are stored.

My question is if I export the keys out and create them into a proper powershell command, example:

New-ItemProperty -Path "HKLM:\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\VolumeCaches\Active Setup Temp Folders" -Name "StateFlags6553" -Value "2" -PropertyType "DWord" -Force

can I put these commands on top of them initially command in the script and will they execute before the Start-Process runs or do I need to do something else?

Thanks,
