CoffeeFiend Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 Look into:C:\Documents and Settings\whatever_user_name\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launchas for deleting them, a good old DEL command works nicely. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zilevoli Posted October 9, 2004 Share Posted October 9, 2004 First you have to know the path in which you want to delete files from. See the batch variable DEL_PATHSecond you need to know the name of the file. In my example I want to delete the quick launch link to PSPad. Its link name happens to be PSPad.lnk. See batch variable DEL_PROG** NOTE **If you wish to remove all links do not set DEL_PROG to *.* ... instead set it to *.lnk ... *.* will produce a Y/N prompt window (defeats purpose of unattended installing) cause of the Show Desktop quick launch.** END NOTE **Third combine the two within Quotes as seen below the batch comment DELETE LINE@ECHO OFF::DEL_PATH points to the directory where you want to delete filesSET DEL_PATH=C:\Documents and Settings\Schrys\Application Data\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\::DEL_PROG defines what the files name is:: in this example I want to remove the PSPad Quick Lanuch link SET DEL_PROG=PSPad.lnkECHO Deleleting file %DEL_PROG%ECHO From the path %DEL_PATH%::DELETE LINEDEL "%DEL_PATH%%DEL_PROG%"Hope this is what you were looking for Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Or you could simply do: Del /y "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\PSPad.lnk"Works just as well... Preferences I guess. I'd rather not use variables myself. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Jito463 Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 Or you could simply do: Del /y "%AppData%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\PSPad.lnk"I'd rather not use variables myself.Sorry, I couldn't resist Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 10, 2004 Share Posted October 10, 2004 That's not the point... What I meant was creating 2 user variables to delete a simple link, which can be neatly done in a single line of code, nothing to do with system created variables.I mean, is it supposed to be even remotely funny or an I missing something?

Jito463 Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 A) I was quoting Crahak. That wasn't my postB) I use /Q. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
CoffeeFiend Posted October 11, 2004 Share Posted October 11, 2004 And it was from (bad) memory. DEL /Q "%AppDate%\Microsoft\Internet Explorer\Quick Launch\Tag&Rename.lnk"Would work, no matter what user name and looks cleaner to me. I bet if you try it, it'll work.

CoffeeFiend Posted October 12, 2004 Share Posted October 12, 2004 %AppData% (and many others) all work fine. open a dos window and type "set" (w/o quotes, and press enter). You'll see what it refers to (and many others) Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
