System Folder

[Frank_Sechrist]

How do you delete a system folder in unattended mode? AOL 9.0 (I'm not a fan of AOL, but several of my friends and family members use it) installs fine in silent mode, but puts shortcuts, URLs, and a system folder on the Desktop. I am able to delete the shortcuts and URLs via a .cmd file, but not the system folder.

Thanks.

??

if u don't want it why don't not install it?

is there only 1 user created?

check if that process is running (which i believe its running (aim crap))

so first close that then delete the system folder. but uninstalling would work..

also u get a system folder on desktop? u mean in program files or something?

System folder on the desktop? Very, very bad program if so.

To delete it, first make sure nothing else is keeping there like what XtremeMaC said. (aim crap)

If nothing the attrib command might work.. Like so:

attrib -s -h -r "<path to folder>"
rmdir /s /q "<path to folder>"

<path to folder> could be something like %userprofile&\Desktop\AIMCRAP

I don't install it on my PCs...but I do for friends and family who use it.

There is no folder that I can delete.

I used RegShot and found two registry entries. When I delete these registry entries, the system folder is removed. Here are the entries:

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Desktop\NameSpace\{955B7B84-5308-419c-8ED8-0B9CA3C56985}]

[-HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\SOFTWARE\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\MyComputer\NameSpace\{955B7B84-5308-419c-8ED8-0B9CA3C56985}]

Does anyone know if these registry keys are constant, or do they change from machine to machine? I've only tested this on one PC.

Thanks
