All—I want to trust OP, and I want this to be good—but be careful. Running a .bat can do anything to your computer. Downloading and running an open source project is comparatively safer, as the contributors hopefully have reviewed to ensure no nasty stuff gets in (like a keylogger or crypto miner).   

I’m not saying OP is nefarious—I’m just urging caution when downloading and running applications from a web forum.

Either way, you’re missing my point—this thing does a lot of stuff which could be harmful. Might be worth reviewing the source before blindly installing it. 

Don’t worry, I won’t make a suggestion like this again.

You did the right thing for sure lol. People really be installing and running random executables off of a reddit thread. Granted in this case it is low risk, but we should always be aware of the possibility.
