I have created a simple Windows batch file to preform this change. See attached.

Update: Oops, I accidentally used the wrong folder in the first version of the batch file. I apologize to anyone who downloaded this previously.

The current version of the batch will fix the broken folder created by the previous version, but you will need to re-register Kindle for PC afterwards. Sorry!
I keep getting a fail when running the batch file...

my path is different?
C:\Users\tomc\AppData\Local\Amazon\SendToKindle

I tried renaming but still failed ???
(edit) I'm still on version 1.1.1.250
