Batch file is cool, but I'm telling you... qsfreq is for really lazy people (like me) -- it's painless, and I think it does everything that the batch file does, and gives you some interesting stats as well.
I'm still a little confused about what you guys are seeing in the help -- I'm 99.99% sure disabling searches by renaming the files from anything not ending in .xml should cause them not to be loaded into the help.
