Microsoft Surface – Add Flash Easily

NOTE 1: This allows you to add flash sites from the command prompt. Once setup, you can just run these batch files and you don’t have to worry about going into the xml file, scrolling down to find /Flash, and adding your entry ever again.
NOTE 2: These batch files will create a Backup directory inside where the iecompatdata.xml file just in case.
NOTE 3: What also will be done is deleting the browsing history for you automatically, so you don’t have to waste your time going into the internet explorer options to delete it that way.
NOTE 4: This procedure uses BatchSubstitute.bat which we will use for find and replace
