delete start menu

Since you could not figure it out, The first one is the simple one, but it will

not work on XP SP2 that why there the second one.

If you need more information here is the web page I found the

script from, How Can I Delete a Folder and All Its Subfolders?

I have never used AutoIt, but get the impression from what I've seen of it that either

RunWait(@COMSPEC & ' /c rd  /s /q "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs"')
RunWait(@COMSPEC & ' /c md  "C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs"')

or

RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c rd  /s /q ""C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs""")
RunWait(@COMSPEC & " /c md ""C:\Documents and Settings\All Users\Start Menu\Programs""")

may be a little closer to what you wanted.

You could try AutoIt macros to clean out Programs from Start:

DirRemove( @ProgramsCommonDir & "\Accessories", 1)
FileDelete( @ProgramsCommonDir & "\*.*")
DirRemove( @ProgramsDir & "\Accessories", 1)
FileDelete( @ProgramsDir & "\*.*")

Where @ProgramsCommonDir is the path to the "All Users" Start Menu's Programs folder and @ProgramsDir is the path to the current user's Programs folder on the Start Menu. I don't know of a wildcard that would handle all folders, so you would need to reference individual folders a la:

DirRemove( @ProgramsCommonDir & "\Accessories", 1)
DirRemove( @ProgramsCommonDir & "\Games", 1)
DirRemove( @ProgramsCommonDir & "\Startup", 1)

Setting it up would take a little time, but it should work. Sorry, not gonna test it on my machine.
