Code:
@ECHO off
CD %~dp0
I'll add that to the batch file. I will remove the note about running as administrator too, if it is not somthing that is commonly needed then it is probably not helpful.

>3.17.3.bat restore
I'll add that to th note. Edit: I can't think of a simple way to explain clearly how to do that. The current instructions are the same for everyone, I will probably just confuse things trying to explain about running things from the command line on Windows.
