Hi, the methods described here were working for me on an old laptop -- then I upgraded to a new machine. Kindle 1.17.1 installed to C:\Program Files (x86)\Amazon\Kindle. When I try the rename command, it tells me the syntax is wrong, and the .bat file doesn't work because Kindle is installed in the wrong place. I tried editing the bat file to:
@echo off
set KINDLE=Program Files (x86)\Amazon\Kindle
if not exist "%KINDLE%\Kindle.exe" goto :nokindle
if exist "%KINDLE%\storage" if not exist "%KINDLE%\storage\" del /Q "%KINDLE%\storage"
if exist "%KINDLE%\updates" rmdir /S /Q "%KINDLE%\updates"
echo This file disables Kindle for PC downloads. > "%KINDLE%\updates"
echo Kindle for PC downloads are now disabled
goto :exit
:nokindle
echo Cannot disable downloads - Kindle for PC is not installed at expected location
:exit
pause
But it still can't find what it needs.
Thus far I've been going to \AppData\Local\Amazon\Kindle every time I open the app and deleting the forced update file, but I'd appreciate any suggestion that would make this work a bit more smoothly.
Thanks
