Thank you

Hello I want to make a batch that deletes these folders and all their contents: C:\found.000\, C:\found.001\, C:\found.002\, etc or more accurately %systemdrive%\found.000 So far I have this: for /d %%X in (found.0*) do rd /a /f /s /q "%%X" However, this only does it if the current directo...

The batch file does run hidden but unfortunately the programs it runs (inet.cpl and vsp1cln / compcln) seem to force themself to show a window. I had to use start /min in the end.

Hi

Your link has a password which I don't know.

Hello, I was wondering how you run a program from inside a batch script whilst keeping the window hidden. I am trying to run programs that are automated tasks - The first commands is for Vista SP2 and the second is for IE7 or above. start /wait %windir%\System32\compcln.exe /quiet start /wait RunDll...

Thanks!

I am trying to make a batch script that will delete certain locked files after a restart. So far I haven't been able to achieve this without using other programs.

Is there a command for getting rid of locked files on restart?

That is what I'm doing as well as other variables like %userprofile% and "localappdata% for vista.

Thanks for your reply

So the only benefit of using both lines would be that the timeout would be longer?

Hello, I was wondering if the latter of commands is more effective:

rd /s /q "C:\temp\"

or:

del /f /s /q "C:\temp\*.*"
rd /s /q "C:\temp\"

Does adding the del command before rd makes it anymore effective or reliable for a directory of files?
