Can the $NtUninstall$ files in the windows dir be DELETED from DOS COMMAND line?? They don't need to removed from a command prompt but you can do it that way...
They are for uninstalling Updates so make sure the machine has no issues before dumping them...Thanks Patio, I realize what they are. I am at a school and building a batch drive to clean systems when classes change. We are charged with the removal of any nonessential files and I am trying to streamline it and prevent forgetting any steps. It has been so long since I used batch files I have forgotten the switches. GOTCHA...
I'll move this to where the batch writers hang out ...Thank you sir. While you're at it, you might as well see if you can come up with a companion script to delete the entries from ADD/REMOVE once the files are deleted Why not use CCleaner Portable?
http://www.ccleaner.com/download/buildsHi Allan, an additional situation is there are different profiles that I clean of specific folders and files but do not delete the profile, which would be the best, so I need to select specific folders and files and when the deletion process is done I RUN defrag and chkdsk. I do this in the safe mode so when it completes and REBOOTS ready for the user login. My intent is to have it run unattended after the bat file is executed leaving me available to go on to the next system. These are classrooms with 30+ systems.
