batch programming

how do you make it so you are not prompted for confirmation on certain operations, like del c:\...\*.*, and no I am not trying to write a virus, just trying to clean my cookies and other stuff on startup

write a program to do it, then put it in Autoexec.bat, or if you have Win2k (doesn't use autoexec.bat) put it in
HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\Curre ntVersion\Run

Del should delete without prompt....

"Deltree /y" will delete without prompting.........

If you want to supress the prompt in a dos command, type the command and follow it with "/?" to get possible options...

Is that what you wanted?

hrmphf.... del doesnt have the option to not confirm. So I guess I could just use deltree

you can trick dos into deleting one file at a time using a for command:

Code:

---

for %i in (*.*) do erase %i

---

for batch files the %i must be %%i

del expects you to type a Y, so just give it a Y:

echo Y | del c:\...\*.*

you can also suppress the output:

echo Y | del c:\...\*.* > NUL:

hope this helps...
