Temp Delete.bat

Hi Guys!
I created a Temp Delete.bat file on my desktop to easily empty my temp folder with DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.* and this works fine.
The problem is, when I move this Temp.bat file into the start menu and use it the path comes up as C:\Program Files\Common Files\SYSTEM\Mapi\1033\95DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\TEMP\*.*.
Why is this, and am I deleting more than just the temp file by using it from the start menu with this command line??

 

Not sure why it has the path as that, if anything i would think it was c:\windows\Desktop. Personally i wouldnt put the actual batch file on the desktop or in the start menu. I would put it somewhere like c:\ , and create a shortcut in these locations.

Another command line that would work (the one i use because deltree isnt available in Win 2000 and XP but delete is) is this:

del c:\Windows\Temp\*.* /s /q

Substituting del for delete works also.

This works in all versions of Windows, where yours only works in less than Windows ME.

The /s in the argument means include subfolders, and the /q switch means quiet, or answer yes to any questions like deleting hidden or read only files.

 

Thanks Dez, that seems to work and gives me a NORMAL command path
