BloodStalker Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Hi, there I want to delete a Start Menu Shortcut using my cleanup.cmd file. Every bit of my cleanup.cmd file works, except the part I included to delete the shortcut. Could someone tell me if I am deleting it right. If I am not could you please tell me the appropriate way to delete it using my cleanup.cmd file. Here is the section from my cleanup.cmd file:DEL "%systemdrive%\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs\X-Setup Pro"This is a start menu shortcut.
BloodStalker Posted September 11, 2004 Author Posted September 11, 2004 Does anyone know how I can delete this start menu shortcut using cleamup.cmd????
MHz Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 Use this instead:Del "%allusersprofile%\Start Menu\Programs\X-Setup Pro.lnk"
Mike_Wilson Posted September 11, 2004 Posted September 11, 2004 To delete items from the startmenu there are two ways one in which to delete a shortcut on its own and the second being a sub folder with shortcuts in it.Single ShortcutExample is deleting the Windows Movie Maker shortcut in the start menuDEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\Windows Movie Maker.lnk"Shortcut in Folder (wanting to delete whole folder)Example is deleting the K-Lite Codec folder from my start menu after I have silently installed it.RD /S /Q "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Programs\K-Lite Codec Pack"
