Running a script?

Sorry for this really basic question but I cant seem to find an answer (and I promise I have looked).

Ive got a script for bridge from ps-scripts.com that takes the file name and inputs it into the headline metadata, or any other stated part of the metadata (so I can use live captions in Indesign without seeing the file extension).

However, I have not got a clue how to run this script from bridge.

Everything I have seen says its a bridge script not a photoshop script, or are they run the same way?

For reference to the script http://www.ps-scripts.com/bb/viewtopic.php?f=18&t=2406&sid=abb69282c947bc40ec10%2081d5c7b9a6fc#p10283.

Cheers.

Bridge CS5 (4.1.0.54). Windows 7.

Correct answer I have gone

In Bridge goto Preferences - Startup Scripts

At the bottom click the "Reveal Button",  this will open the folder where the script should be placed as a plain text file with a .jsx extension.

Close and restart Bridge.

Accept the new script.

The  script is now ready to run from the Tools menu.
