Zhoerd Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 Does anybody know how to prevent the Folder "Ý" being created in de root of de drive from wich it is installed? My filemonitor just gives a Create Folder c:\Ý en then closes it.The strange thing is that it doesn't contain anythin and you can just delete it.Anybody?

eirogge Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 i had the same thing here but did not find out which installation created it. i always deleted the folder via my cleanup commandbatch but now i use quicktime alternative. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted March 31, 2004 Share Posted March 31, 2004 It's a quirk in Quicktimes installation. I have the same problem. eirogge do you still have that cmd file to delete this directory? I can't seem to get the correct extended ascii character for the Ý correct. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPamplin Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 Yes, yes, I need that too! I keep trying various commands to do it in my batch file, and that darn folder is still there.Please share the wealth!JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

eirogge Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 this is the cmd i used in my cleanup-batch:RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Ý\no special ascii encoding needed. but as i mentioned above, i now use quicktime alternative from megacodecpack.com Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 I'm with JPamplin on this one boys. I can't get the RD command to recognize the Ý [alt+0221 / 0x0DD] character. This is definitely a glitch with the command interpreter. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Noise Posted April 1, 2004 Share Posted April 1, 2004 OK - I think I figured out a workaround. For some reason the RD command won't recognize the C:\Ý directory. The trick is to MOVE this directory to another name first THEN delete it.MOVE C:\Ý C:\XXXRD /S /Q C:\XXXSeemed to work for me. I'm doing an new build so I'll let you know if this doesnt work.BTW: This can't delete directory problem ONLY occurs with Quicktime created C:\Ý directories. If you manually create the C:\Ý directory there is no problem using the RD command to delete it! :newbie: Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPamplin Posted April 3, 2004 Share Posted April 3, 2004 Ooh, good idea. I'll try that out. Thanks for the effort - hopefully we can make this irritant go away.JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
JPamplin Posted April 5, 2004 Share Posted April 5, 2004 Update: well, I tried that MOVE, RD trick, and... it didn't work. Perhaps we can do a REN instead of MOVE and delete the renamed folder?I'll run another install cycle with that change and we'll see. There's GOT to be a way to get rid of this in a batch file. Hmph.JP Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
