Here is example of the code to insert into a batch file:
@Echo Off
::Set the title.
Title Configuring JAWS for use.
::Set JAWS version.
Set JAWSVersion=9.0
::Define variables
Set MyDocsDirectory=%UserProfile%\My Documents
set UserDirectory=%AppData%\Freedom Scientific\JAWS\%JAWSVersion%\SETTINGS\ENU
set ScriptsDirectory=%MyDocsDirectory%\Archives\Jaws\scripts
Set AllUsersDirectory=%AllUsersProfile%\Application Data\Freedom
Scientific\JAWS\%JAWSVersion%\settings\enu
::Set up shipping IE files.
copy "%AllUsersDirectory%\Internet Explorer.js*" "%UserDirectory%"
ren "%UserDirectory%\Internet Explorer.jsb" "FS_Internet Explorer.jsb"
ren "%UserDirectory%\Internet Explorer.jsd" "FS_Internet Explorer.jsd"
ren "%UserDirectory%\Internet Explorer.jss" "FS_Internet Explorer.jss"
::Move our IE files into place.
copy "%ScriptsDirectory%\IE\*" "%UserDirectory%"
It will do what you are seeking with the default files, you'll need to
write the batch file accordingly though. I recommend googling some
examples of Windows batch files for other uses.
