Hello all This is my first post here so forgive me if I screw anything up. I think this is the right place to post this problem, any help would be greatly appreciated. What I am doing is creating an installer for an exe and a pre packaged installer, this is not by choice I am doing it for work and I am stuck with what they gave me. The Problem: I have the installer up and working, But it is messy so I created a batch file to delete a few things, the batch file deletes everything it is supposed to except shortcuts on the desktop. Here is my batch file: @ECHO on COPY C:\Exponent\Websem.DAT "C:\WebSEM" /Y /V DEL "C:\Exponent\unins000.dat" DEL "C:\Exponent\unins000.exe" DEL "C:\Exponent\Websem.DAT" DEL "C:\Exponent\WebSEM.EXE" DEL "C:\Exponent\infoafter.txt" Pause DEL "%userprofile%\Desktop\clean" Pause DEL "%userprofile%\Desktop\vidpatch" Pause DEL "C:\Exponent\cleanup.bat" The pause's are just so I can see the errors. Error= cannot find file What do I need to do to make this delete the shortcuts also I have not done any batch files or progrmming for at least ten years. Thanks in advance. Lokinb
