Scripts in VistaHi,
I was trying to write a simple batch file in Vista, and discovered that I need to do these tasks in the form of a script. I have no experience with scripts. I felt pretty fortunate that I could get things done using batch files. I'm an old DOS guy. This is the task I need automated ..... del c:\users\public\public~1\cqgnet\temp\*.* del c:\users\public\public~1\cqgnet\private\bourtov.* I have tried to no avail to convert this to a script. Any help would be deeply appreciated as I would learn a lot if I saw it in script. Thank you ... Sam Hi,
Something like this should work. delstr1 = "cmd /c del c:\users\public\public~1\cqgnet\temp\*.*" delstr2 = "cmd /c del c:\users\public\public~1\cqgnet\private\bourtov.*" Set WshShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell") ExitCode = WshShell.Run(delstr1, 10, TRUE ) ExitCode = WshShell.Run(delstr2, 10, TRUE ) Set WshShell = Nothing You can test the ExitCode if you like. I think the above is ok - anyway it will get you started. CreateWindow http://justpageprobe.com The FREE Web page utility you always wanted. Keep your router connected.

When I typed the path to the files I want to delete I used a sub directory called public~1. If I typed the complete name it would have been ... public documents. The problem is that I have 4 other sub directories starting with public. In Vista I have ..... Public Documents (what I need to path to) Public Downloads Public Music Public Pictures Public Videos That is why I used public~1 (I tried 2,3,4,5 also with no luck) Was that right?

That was probably not right. What about specifying the full name?

Sorry, I tried using the full name but it has a space in it "public documents". I don't know how to get around it. Thanks again ...

Yes, that can be tricky using cmd /c etc. An easy way out is to make a .cmd or .bat file called test.bat Then you can quote the string like this - dir "C:\documents and settings\administrator\local settings\temp" > fred.txt (just for example - that's puts the dir listing in a file called fred.txt) and put that sort of line in the bat file. then the run command is just - WshShell.Run("test.bat", 10, TRUE ) For deleting *.* you need the /Q for quiet mode like del /q "Users\public........ etc. That should help.
