Cleanup.cmd not working properly

[Marthax]

Hi everyone!

I have been inactive for like 2 months on this forum since I've been busy building my new righ, but now I'm back (and it feels great ).

Anyway, I have a small problem. When I execute my Cleanup file, I want it to delete 2 folders, "D" (created by BTS Packs) and "Install" (where all my installation files are kept).

It does delete everything except one folder inside the Install folder (Office2k3, one file remains here also) and one file in the "D" folder (Watchdriverpolicy.exe, or something like that). When I restart the computer and execute the cmd file manually, it deletes these files. However, if I do the same thing, but unattended, it doesn't delete them.

Why is that? I mean, I see the cleanup file get executed, but the folders are still there. I've tried many different methods when timing this file, but with no success.

Anyone who knows how I could solve this?

Thanks!

Marthax

Try checking out some of the switches that are used with DEL or RMDIR or whatever you are using to delete them. use the /? and see if there are some switches to force a delete. Worth a try

Read this thread and it should help you.

Maybe you should terminate the process before deleting the folder (seems to me the file is still in use when you try to delete it).

taskkill.exe /F /IM Watchdriverpolicy.exe
RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\Install\

Hope this helps.

Her try this vbs file

Dim Act : Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")

Dim Fso : Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")

Dim SD : SD = Act.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Systemdrive%")

strComputer = "."

Set objWMIService = GetObject _

    ("winmgmts:\\" & strComputer & "\root\cimv2")

Set colProcessList = objWMIService.ExecQuery _

    ("Select * from Win32_Process Where Name = 'Watchdriverpolicy.exe'")

For Each objProcess in colProcessList

    objProcess.Terminate()

Next

If Fso.FolderExists(SD & "\Install") Then

Fso.DeleteFolder(SD & "\Install")

Else

Act.Popup "Cannot Delete This Folder" , 5, "Delete Error", 0 + 32

End If

No, it's not that. Maybe I was a bit unclear. If I do it manually, it works. That is, if I execute the cleanup.cmd by hand, it deletes the files, while if I do the same thing, but let RunOnceEx do it, it doesn't get deleted. Why is this?

[Sonic]

when your cleanup.cmd is launched ? in cmdlines.txt ?

RunOnceEx.

Actually, I have that same problem getting rid of the link for outlook express and Internet explorer in the "all programs" menu. I just assumed that windows re-added them @ bootup, kinda like the "Startup" folder in "all programs". Hopefully someone can help us!!!

[Marthax]

Hopefully, yes

EDIT: If it makes the whole thing easier, then here's my Cleanup.cmd:

does it delete all the other folders correctly?

maybe try to put the switches before the folder name, like

rd /s /q "%SystemDrive%\D"

cheezus, if yo don't want the startup folder displayed, just run the attrib command on it to hide it (attrib /?).

I was bored and redid Marthax Cleanup.cmd in a VBS Script to show

the differences between the 2.

This shows only the shutdown dialog, the delete file and folders are silent.

Green Text are the arrays for file and folders

And this means? Sorry, but I'm no expert when it comes to VBS.

[gunsmokingman]

It was just to show the differences between the 2 that all nothing more.

I left these 2 out because I had no idea what the directory was.

del "$$\System32\sleep.exe"

del "$$\System32\cmdow.exe"
