True, though I would also use the /f option (for either solution) to delete the read-only ones too. As a former CS student, it would take me 2 minutes to mark the file as Read-Only and have it stay around...Quote:

Create a text file named "yes" with simply "Y" in it. Keep the txt file along with the bat file. Then, create a batch file with the lines:
:MAIN
del *.mp3 <yes.txt
GOTO MAIN
This will save you from having to type in y everytime you come across a mp3 to confirm the deletion. That way, you can run and walk away. (You will have to empty the recycle bin though. Unless anyone can figure out how to have the bat file do it.)
Hey, ShadowKing,
your script is very good,
but they assault doubts to me,
script also includes the Hidden files?

Yes, it does hidden files. VBS doesn't really care whether they are hidden or not...Quote:

OK here's the deal:
Well, I showed the script to my supervisor and asked what he thought, and he said "Oh, its mediocre".
And I said "Mediocre?!? Like you could have done any better!"
His response was "It's not remotable."
"OK wise guy, we'll just see..."
So anyway here is the remotable version.
You just need to make a text file that has a list of each computer by name on each line. You also need to specify different options for the remote script, so you can run yours with the /d {isplay what is going on} option and just run the remote one with the /y and /o option.
I first started with scanning the administrative shares of each machine on the network, but I realized with a network of 60 computers it would never finish. So instead, I copy the script over to the C$ root and then start it as a remote process on that machine. When it is finished it deletes itself. Takes less than 5 seconds, and lets each individual machine do its own work...
I tested this on a Windows 2000 domain with a few computers and it ran pretty well, It should definitely run on NT also if IE 5 or above is installed. I am unsure about Win9x. It uses wbem, so who knows. If someone wants to try it out on a 9x network, let me know.
Update:
OK I talked to the guy who helped develope the wmi/wbem stuff and he said if you want it to run on 9x/NT4 then you need to install this.
So if you want to use the remotable script with Win9x boxes, get the wmicore.exe and install it on the workstations. You can then also do any other wmi stuff you want.

It won't show my post correctly.
send me an email and I can send you a batch file to do this, the forum is messing up some of the code.
put <yes.text next to *.mp3
and put goto main on the next line
BTW if you are using SMS in your company then WMI should already be installed.Quote:
