hi

this is what i want to do

A right context menu option to delete a folder ad next reboot

this is what i have sofare:

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\delete]
@="Delete bij volgende Start"
[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Directory\shell\delete\command]
@="dell.bat \"1%\""

the bat file:

REG ADD "HKLM\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\RunOnce" /V Cleanup /D "cmd.exe /C RD *.* /S /Q"

in the bat file, if you use it this way i know i must specify a folder to delete it

the question:

is there a command to use it on all folders, not just 1

question 2:

the same option to delete a file

thanks for reading this

U should do this by PFR - Pending File Rename...

soulin, more details please.

sixpack, what I can tell is that %CD% refers to current directory, and %%1 refers to current file. Hoping that hint helps

You can try making your .BAT based on that info. And what do you mean by "all folders" ? Do you mean to say all folders within that folder? If so, use recursive folder removal ("rd /?" for help).

@prathapml

with all folders i mean

delete a folder on the desktop

and delete a folder in lets say windows

so delete the folder with every thing in it

do you have a example on how to use the %CD% and %%1

have tryed every command i know and it still doesend work

still need help with this

.reg

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\Shell\Delete on Reboot\Command]
@="Delfolder.cmd \"%1\""

.cmd

set Dir2Del=%1
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce /v DelOnNextReboot /d "cmd.exe /c RD /S /Q %Dir2Del%"

havent tested it but i think it should work

well i guess i f***tup the registery

my option delete for folders is gone [the windows one]

glad it's the test pc

edit: fixed

sorry MCT it doesed work

i tested it too, i get "too many commandline parameters" or something like that, it cant figure it out, cuz the directory is set

suppose this will work, then you can only delete 1 folder

the code must be for multiepul folders

and must work to on files

my guess is it cant be done

or there must be a dll someware that can do all this

but give up, NEVER

Sorry for late response: about PFR, try to download tools like alter.exe or similar and look to registry changes they made...

- U can add files to copy during boot sequention

- U can add files to delete during boot sequention

- U can delete all pending operation (but I dont recommend this)

PFR is also used for installing hotfixes (e.g. only newest version of files will be copied).

This one works:

DeleteFolderonReboot.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Delete on reboot\command]
@="delfolder.cmd \"%1\""

Delfolder.cmd

@echo off
setlocal
set pathwithquotes=%1
set originalpath=%pathwithquotes:~1,-1%
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce /v "Del %originalpath% OnNextReboot" /d "cmd.exe /c RD /S /Q  \"%originalpath%\"" /f
endlocal

Delfolder goes into windir or system32.

EDIT: Fixed this with faster code

This one works:

Delfolderonnextrebootextension.reg

Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Delete on reboot\command]
@="CMD.exe /C start /B /wait /D\"%1\" delfolder.cmd"

Delfolder.cmd

@echo off
CMDOW @ /HID
REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\Currentversion\RunOnce /v "Del %cd% OnNextReboot" /d "cmd.exe /c RD /S /Q \"%cd%\"" /f
EXIT

Delfolder goes into windir or system32.

BTW, why do you need this feature???

i allway's have files/folders that are in use

to mutch digging around in windows i guess

i will test it when i get home
