How to prevent foreign language subfolders in Silverlight 5.0 projects

This is an update to a blog post I first made in 2011:  https://csharpdeveloper.wordpress.com/2011/04/02/how-to-prevent-foreign-language-subfolders-in-silverlight-projects/

We are still supporting Silverlight applications, though we should have them rewritten in HTML within a year.  Until then, we can put the commands below into a batch file and run it as Admin on developer PCs to stop the creation of all the foreign language versions of the DLLs of our projects.  This speeds up the build time a little bit, and keeps us from distributing, analyzing, virus-checking, and etc. on those DLLS.
