bat file should delete itself after running

Comment:

I got a program which creates batch files, and then they are ready to be run... it would be nice if they would be able to delete themselves after running ... Its quite easy to manage, using another program/batchfile, but just wondering if something like this is possible .. with or without some tricks ...

Miskva, In DOS under windows 9X, you can just add a line to the end of the batch file which deletes itself. I.E. if the batch file is called test.bat then adding del test.bat as the last command executed will remove the batch file from the disk. -Michael
