You don't have to add the switches yourself with this batch file.

Just put it in your Guild Wars directory and put a shortcut to it on your desktop.

And no, it does not contain a keylogger. If you don't believe me, just open the file with notepad.

If you want any switches added, just post here.

Since people can simply make the batch file, paste the code into a codebox?

Forgive me if I give this a miss, and also advise other people to ignore it too.

Uh, why would you advise others to do the same?

Thanks for posting the code. It allows others to avoid the download limit and check for anything suspicious. Can't be too careful in this day and age.

download limit? What ya mean?

As for the batch file. Sure, don't execute strange batch files without looking at them.

Being safe is a good thing, but people need to stop being overly...well, paranoid.

Saving a small *.bat file to your PC and then opening it with a program like notepad, isn't "dangerous" at all.

I have a quick question. What is choice 6? afsluiten?? I don't see that as a menu option in the rest of the code and am unaware of any command like that. Other than that, the code is pretty straight foreward.

Oh, I forgot about that, but it still works. Afsluiten is dutch for exit.
