thats about the basics of how to setup that config file. as for the start.bat file make a text file and and click save as. and save it as start.bat it should change the file type to .bat
once thats change open the file and insert this into it. once the file is changed to a .bat file you can rename the file to whatever you want. btw you WILL need heidisql if you have no experience using the command prompt to change values. and it just makes it easier aswell make sure you install that. Hope this helps
