To anyone old enough to remember or current in writing DOS batch files...

I've included two lines in my autoexec.bat file that deletes all the accumulated files from my windows\temp directory each time I start Windows:

cd\windows\temp
del *.*

That's all well and good, and it works great, but DOS returns the warning message that "This will delete all the files in the directory. Are you sure? y/n" and waits for my affirmation.

Is there any switch for the delete command, or any line I can write that will answer yes automatically, and continue the boot sequence?

Thanks for any help.
