This is my problem:

I need a batch file to delete a *.pif file created by a game every time i run it...
(Im running Win XP Professional edition)
So i put it like this in the batch im trying to CREATE:

del C:\Programs\bla bla\bla\blabla\blablabla\*.pif /P
pause
(that's not really the path )
And it gives me a "path not found" in the prompt
I've tried all sorts of variations i've even tried without using wild cards, with other files elsewhere on my c: drive, setting the file attribute and all but... helas... no GO
What am i doing wrong here?
If you could plz give you insight on this sorry bout that
nasty typo: not lies files What if you used explore or search to find the exact location of the file then copy/paste that location in your batch eliminating any typos etc?i've had issues with batch files and long file names. for example:

c:\documents and settings\user files\favs

would be

c:\docume~1\userfil~1\favs

in your batch file.

You best bet is to TYPE:

command

from the run line (you cannot use the cmd shortform as this shell allows long file names) and trace your path from the command promptuse "path"Quote
