I got 15 computers that have a program that I must remove, I am writting a small batch file to do this.
first how do i change all the attributes to all the folders within the folder, and second how do I delete everything on it.
D:\stuff\
so I want to recursively delete everything in stuff??

Del *.* (to delete all files in current folder)

EX:

Attrib -a -r -h -s(removes attributes)


a=archive
b=read-only
h=hidden
s=system

- = remove
+ = add

deltree will recursively remove directories.

Almost there, the command deltree requires input when using '*.*'. It is the imfamous 'Are you sure?'.

You should be able to do either of these, but try 'em out first;

deltree c:\junk\*.* < y
or
create text file named y.txt. It contains the letter y and a newline/return.
deltree c:\junk\*.* < y.txt

Hope this helps.
