My Pictures

Two questions - thanks for your time !

- How and why does this (empty) Folder get regularly created

C:\My Documents\My Pictures\

- why doesn't this .bat statement remove it ?

C:\Windows\deltree.exe /Y C:\MyDocu~1\MyPict~1\

regards and thanks for advice ...

 

MY WAG is that the command does delete it.

I believe that folder may well be one that Windows thinks we need and just puts it right back.

Have you ever tried moving My Documents to another partition ?

If you have and not gone into the reg and did a little editing it may well be right back on the C: drive. Or a duplicate of it.

I have moved it using Partition Magic Magic Mover and and it come out OK. Because MM goes in and edits the Reg.

But just drag-N-Droping it never worked with out a regedit.

Wrong as per post ..

C:\Windows\deltree.exe /Y C:\MyDocu~1\MyPict~1\
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
correct ...

C:\Windows\deltree.exe /Y C:\MyDocu~1\MyPict~1
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
Backslash not correct unless you only want to delete specific files

C:\Windows\deltree.exe /Y C:\MyDocu~1\MyPict~1\*.jpg
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
This should delete all files AND the folder ..

C:\Windows\deltree.exe /Y C:\MyDocu~1\MyPict~1\*.*
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------
