Your BAT file replaces the 'storage' folder with a file of the same name.
I renamed my 'storage' folder to 'xxxstorage' and created a 'storage' file. Upon restarting K4PC 1.24.51068 on Windows 10, K4PC prompts me to agree to terms of use. After doing that I find that my registration has been removed as reported in Options/Registration. This behavior occurs on every attempt to start K4PC.
After removing the 'storage' file and changing the 'xxxstorage' folder back to 'storage', everything goes back to normal (no prompt for terms of use, registration is restored).
Question: Does the installed version of K4PC affect what happens when replacing the 'storage' folder with a 'storage' file?
Another question: Should the folder name be 'updates' rather than 'storage' as others have observed an 'updates' folder being created when the forced upgrade to 1.30 occurs?
