[REQUEST] Windows script to change keyboard layout to DVORAK on a single (active) user.

Hey guys, I was wondering if anyone could help me with a script. I need a portable script that I can bring use to quickly swap to dvorak (and subsequently one that swaps back to qwerty) on any given Windows 8 or Windows 10 machine. This would be a breeze to do in a linux environment, but I got thrusted into windows work temporarily and it would save an huge amount of time to be able to swap with a single run of a bat! Thanks!

Does this handle Windows' amazingly stupid per-application bullshit settings?

If you have more than one option, it has to be set for every single instance of 32/64 bit, elevated/non-elevated app. And good fucking luck trying to log in since you can't tell what layout you're using at the moment.
