I have Photoshop and Acdsee, and neither will do a batch job without lots of setup clicks, as they have too many options. This is a good simple solution.
THIS SOFTWARE CONTAINS 3RD PARTY SPYWARE AND ADWARE.
You can install it WITHOUT THE SPYWARE if you are VERY CAREFULL in how you do the setup.
Download it from:
[
download.cnet.com]
When you run the setup program.
License Agreement screen:
1. TICK the box, I accept license agreement.
2. UNTICK the box, "Help Future Delvelopment...."
3. Click Next.
Installation type screen:
1. Select CUSTOM INSTALLATION.
2. Click Next.
Destination Location Screen:
(You decide. Default shown is fine.)
1. Click Next.
Select Start Menu Folder Name:
(You decide. Default is fine.)
1. Click Next.
Select additional Tasks:
1. UNTICK first option "Set as default viewer for all supported file types", unless you want this program to take over every time you click on an image.
The other ones can be left ticks if you want icons on the screen and taskbar.
Install Mezaa:
THIS IS BAD SOFTWARE!!
1. Check "Custom Installation"
2. An new tickbox will then appear on the same screen, and you must then UNCHECK "Install Mezaa" a SECOND time.
3. Click Next.
Install Frostwire:
THIS IS BAD SOFTWARE!!
1. Check "Custom Installation"
2. An new tickbox will then appear on the same screen, and you must then UNCHECK "Install FrostWire" a SECOND time.
3. Click Next.
Them it will install a clean copy of the program without the bad stuff.
Also, when you run it the first time, Do NOT give them a real email address.
Create a temporary forwarding address with:
[
trashmail.com]
I use the Trashmail Firefox Plugin so you can right click and create on on any website and choose how many emails it will forward before it stops working.
