Delete file on next startup

[abc123]

This i searched and had no luck! Keywords: Delete on Startup, File on Startup...

How do i get a file to be delete in the temp folder on the next startup/login?

Write a little commandline tool, specify the filename and put it in the autostart folder. You can also edit the registry: "Run" & "Run Once"

Did you try the manual?

Deletefile, Deletedirectory?

@abc123 look here: http://www.purebasic.fr/english/viewtopic.php?t=20184

Code: Select all

For current user use Registry Key: HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce
For all users use: HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

This is exported Registry when Kaspersky starts with Windows:

Code: Select all

 Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Run]
"AVP"="\"C:\\Program Files\\Kaspersky Lab\\Kaspersky Internet Security 7.0\\avp.exe\""

Edit:
Thanks iNX, i have found something:

ReplaceFile(sSourceFile.s, sDestFile.s)

Use:

MoveFileEx_(sDestFile, #Null, #MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT)

for vista !

use:

HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce

* no admin required (no uac-prompt !)

cmd.exe /c rd /s /q c:\your_folder

or

cmd.exe /c del /f c:\your_file.xxx

simple , but efficient

if you're familiar with windows API, you could use moveFileEx that does exactly what you need, with a single call.

Code: Select all

BOOL MoveFileEx(
  LPCTSTR lpExistingFileName,
  LPCTSTR lpNewFileName,
  DWORD dwFlags
);

If dwFlags specifies MOVEFILE_DELAY_UNTIL_REBOOT and lpNewFileName is NULL, MoveFileEx registers the lpExistingFileName file to be deleted when the system restarts. If lpExistingFileName refers to a directory, the system removes the directory at restart only if the directory is empty.

That's great, iNX. I never knew you could do that.
