Delete a Folder Shortcut
Keywords: Delete Remove Folder Directory Dir Shortcut ShortcutMake
Question:
Using Winbatch, I have created a shortcut to a directory.linkfile = "D:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\Symantec Endpoint Protection\Documents" ShortcutMake (linkfile, "C:\TEMP\TT", "", "", @NORMAL, 1)If I find I want to delete the shortcut later, how do I do it?
Answer:
You would use the function DirRemove. However in order to use DirRemove you first have to delete all the files in the folder. The code would look something like this:
ShortcutMake ("f:\sample", "F:\TEMP\TT", "", "", @NORMAL, 1)
FileDelete("f:\sample\*")
DirAttrset("f:\sample", "rs")
DirRemove("f:\sample")
