DOS Batch Question by nimdokk 2002-06-18 19:59:04
OK here's the scoop, someone here at work has written a DOS batch program to delete old files from directories. She has it doing something like delete *.*. Is there a way to automatically answer "yes" when you are prompted "are you sure you want to delete" when the program runs. I myself am not as fluent with DOS batch as I probably ought to be but hey :-)
