register.bat/register.sh description

register.bat (and register.sh) does no harm to your PC or system - it just creates a configuration file that tells Flash Player that AnyChart Stock swf files can interact with local files. The configuration files are located in:

Windows: %APPDATA%\Macromedia\Flash Player\#Security\FlashPlayerTrust\
where %APPDATA% - path to current users application data folder.
Mac: ~/Library/Preferences/Macromedia/Flash\ Player/\#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/
Linux: ~/.macromedia/Flash_Player/\#Security/FlashPlayerTrust/

register.bat (and register.sh) creates a configuration file with a random name for each folder where you will run it and allows AnyChart Stock swf files to be run from that folder.
