if you disconnect the battery for a couple of hours you'll have probably done one!!!

Just drive normally (what ever that may be), the ecu will adjust to your driving pattern over the next hundred miles or so...

Errr that sounds like a normal cold start procedure to me anyway
You should always drive gently (i.e. less than 3k rpm) from cold for about 10-15 mins to let the oil warm up. Then go for it
Edited to add: Your ECU will probably have reset after a few hours without power anyway. But either way no further action is needed.
