Create a new text file in your Everquest directory root. Call it starteq.txt
In that file, insert the following:
Code:
start eqgame.exe patchme
Save the file and close it. Now rename starteq.txt to starteq.bat
Run that file from the EQ directory and you should be set. If you want a shortcut on your desktop, just create a shortcut to startme.bat
Good luck.
