Documents and Settings info needed for Cleanup.cmd

[Powerhouse]

Trying to get rid of Desktop links on specific users. I use the following code for all users, but that doesn't seem to work...

DEL "%Allusersprofile%\desktop\WinZip.lnk"

However, if I use this code...

DEL "C:\Documents and Settings\Username\desktop\WinZip.lnk"

It works.

So my question is, what is the code to use to get rid of the Desktop links, for any user logged on.

drop down to a command prompt. type set and press enter. make sure that allusersprofile is still listed as a system variable. if it's not there, that would be your problem. if it is, then make sure the path that is associated with it is correct.

I would do... in a batchfile

cd\
cd %allusersprofile%\desktop
del winzip.lnk

If Winzip.lnk is on a particular user's desktop, then deleting it from "%allusersprofile%\desktop" won't work.

%userprofile% refers to the profile directory of the currently logged on user.

del "%userprofile%\desktop\winzip.lnk"

Sweet, that's what I needed to know. Funny thing is, I thought I was using %userprofile% before but was having some problems with it.
