------------------ ::Removesearches - by Phil Albert for use with DQSD (www.dqsd.net). ::This batch file renames (actually uses the DOS "move" command ::because "rename" chokes if the target already exists, and it will ::if you run this a second time, such as after an update.
::Run this from anywhere. An anal programmer might rewrite this ::properly so that the batch file does not alter the current ::dir and uses more constants, so I give anyone permission to ::do anything with this except blame me for anything. ::In other words" "caveat ??" (is there latin for "end-user"?)
::change this if you have a different location for search files. C: cd "C:\Program Files\Quick Search Deskbar\searches"
::The pauses are so you can see how badly my batch file messed up. ::Note that the "FOR /F" command is an extended command. I know ::not what that means, but it is part of my standard XP install. pause
::If you use the help windows built into DQSD to uncheck searches
::you don't want, it will create a file disabledsearches.txt listing
::the disabled searches. This DOS command renames each of those.
FOR /F %%s IN (..\disabledsearches.txt) DO move %%s.xml %%s.xml.removed-search.txt
