I have a simple batch file that I want to delete the contents of a directory once a week: - @echo off del d:\DB_1\Thu\*.* @exit - I am running NT 4.0 Server and want to have it run as a scheduled task. When I run the batch file manually it brings up a confirmation asking if I'm sure I want to delete. If I say yes it deletes the contents of the directory exactly as wanted. How can get the bacth file to run without a delete confirmation? This is preventing it from working as a scheduled task.

In NT5 you have the /q option. Not sure about NT4. With luck, this will tell you about options: del /? If /q is not available, use: echo y|del BTW, the *.* is superfluous. The degault is ALL. M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.

Ok, I finally got it working using the /q switch. Thanks for your help. I HATE NT 4!

Yeah NT4 has plenty of rough edges. Solid but ornery. M2 If at first you don't succeed, you're about average.
