spacesurfer Posted August 31, 2006 Share Posted August 31, 2006 Mazin's method does not actually delete those folders, it prevents them from being displayed in the start menu.If you actually want to delete them, can you not use the del command in your script?I assume it would be del "%userprofile%\My Music", etc.I don't think you can delete a folder using registry keys.You can delete the registry key by using the "-" sign:[-HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Explorer\Shell Folders] but I believe all the shell folder entried will be wiped out.
