Does this refer to the Windows "Recent"
documents folder/directory?
why not:

Code: Select all

echo y | erase c:\windows\recent\*.*

2 questions..

Isn't it safer to use Cor's example as it gets the document's path details exactly from windows itself and avoids typing an erase command and optionally making a mistake with it (dangerous command!!) and also:

You would run the echo command via "Runcommand" right? So doesn't that add extra code overhead.. Not sure if I remember but does'nt a RunCommand load an extra copy of the command intepreter on win2000 down? Or am I wrong (don't remember exactly)

Because it doesn't work for W2K/NT and different profiles.

It was a joke gentlemen!

I was alluding to the implication
that it was a Windows only tip,
(at least I think it is),
and that there was no
way a newbie would
know any different.

Just as my example was O.S. specific. -jb
