I want to create a batch file that needs to scan all my drives for "autorun.inf" remove all attributes then del these files because of a virus. here is what I have so far and it isn't refined. // @echo off CLS rem "code needed for fixed drive search. probably some kind of a nested loop to include below code when each fixed drive is found." IF EXIST autorun.inf attrib -s -h -r autorun.inf /d DEL autorun.inf "repeat until all drives searched" exit /////////////// any help to complete would be greatly appreciated. houdinihar

search all available drives include floppy & cdrom. sorry, no checking against those drive. @echo off & setlocal enabledelayedexpansion for /f "tokens=1,2 delims=\ " %%a in ('fsutil fsinfo drives^|more/e/t0') do ( if "%%b"=="" (set drive=%%a) else set drive=%%b echo scanning !drive! for /f "tokens=*" %%f in ('dir !drive!\autorun.inf /b /s 2^>nul') do attrib -a -s -h "%%f" & del "%%f" & echo %%f )
