autoexec.bat

[realtor388]

I went to notepad then autoexec.bat and put in del C:WindowsTemp*.tmp>nul
This was supposed to empty my temp files on start up but it does not. Any help would be appreciated. Thanks

Hi realtor388,

The following line will clear your temp directory

del C:\Windows\Temp\*.*

Well, now I'm not sure if the computer asks you to confirm deleting. I think it does, because long, long time ago I also coded my cleartmp lines, and they are:

DELTREE /Y C:\WINDOWS\TEMP
MD C:\WINDOWS\TEMP

This should do that

For Windows 95, I would use this line in C:\AUTOEXEC.BAT:

echo y|del c:\windows\temp\*.*

The pipe ( | ) sends a y to the del command, to confirm that you want to delete all the files in c:\windows\temp.

RJ, I like your code better.
I'd never seen subfolders in the temp folder before, last week I looked around and found some.
I'll still use my code with DOS 3.3, though.
