Open Windows Explorer (Right-Click Start > Open Windows Explorer) and navigate to your batch file Next, open the file in your preferred plain-text editor (Notepad works well) and add the following two lines:Ĭode: START '' 'C:\Program Files (x86)\World of Warcraft\Wow-64.exe' Once the document is created, type in a name (it can be almost anything) and hit enter.
Right-click inside of an explored folder (or on your desktop) and select 'New > Text Document'. For AddOns like _NPCScan, this can hinder their performance as they will only alert you when an NPC is added to the cache and so will have no effect if you've already seen that NPC before. Each time WoW 'discovers' a character inside of the game and sends that information to your computer it is saved inside the cache for easy reference the next time you see that NPC. Reasons for deleting your WoW Cache prior to running the game vary, but for me it relates specifically to the 'rares'. While nothing particularly spectacular, I realised that there is probably at least one other person out there who might find this useful and so I've posted it here.įor those who do not know, a windows batch file (.bat file extension) is a small plain-text 'script' that can perform basic windows tasks very quickly. Recently I've started farming 'rares' for achievements and decided to write a two-line batch file to automatically delete WoW's cache folder and then start the game.
