I can’t tell from what you write whether you plan to use the batch file on
one machine or many machines. You don’t know what letter is going to be
assigned to the thumb drive on different machines. And the machine or
machines do have speech installed. You can run Narrator, manually run
NVDA, then close Narrator. There is no harm in having both screen-readers
running at the same time until you close Narrator.
A batch file will only work if a machine assigns the same letter to the
thumb drive as you have the batch file set for. You should use Narrator,
not a batch file, unless you intend to run the portable only on the same machine
so you know the letter is the same.

Subject: Re: [nvda] NVDA Portable Start Yes,
typing exit is the one that doesn't work. I think I found that alt F4 closes that window. Someone (can't remember who it was) directed me to create a batch file because windows no longer recognizes autorun.inf. I had the whole NVDA in the root of the thumb drive. But now, since I want to be able to choose from two versions of NVDA, I'm putting each in his own folder. So I will create a batch file for each version 21.1 and 21.2. The name of the thumb drive is 1. So, without any speech running, I can do windows e to open this pc; then another 1 to go to the thumb drive. Enter to open it and do 1, enter or 2, enter to start the NVDA choice. I think this should work on a machine that has no speech installed.
