   But that's a really valid remark from VanguardLH.   
      
   The original poster Oliver stated that he wants to "send the batch file to   
   *hundreds of others* (mostly students)". So you can guess that there's a good   
   percentage of his recipients who have no use for a "Windows batch file",   
   because they don't use Windows at all.   
      
   And also, why should these links be opened with the Tor Browser? Wouldn't   
   a standard installation of Firefox be sufficient?   
   Alas the same question as above: what about the recipients who haven't   
   installed *any* Version of Firefox at all?   
      
   IMO a Windows only batch file is a really unfit starting point for the   
   purpose of Oliver.
