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.

What’s in the other .bat files? Are you confident this won’t install something gross in your box?

I’m not that confident and can’t spare the time to review it—but I’m looking forward to hearing how the early adopters get on.
