Was looking at the post on self deleting the batch script and was curious if it's also possible to not only self delete the batch file but also the root folder that it resides in (not subdirectories)..Any takers? Thanks DP

Thanks for the tip Dave, been using below command but you do get a short flash error as it deletes the batch file, will now start using yours DP

Thought I would share a useful converter tool called RegToBat..Its a free portable app that easily converts a .reg file to a batch file which can particularly be useful for those files which need administrative privileges to be merged into the registry. Enjoy!
