EXIT in .BAT file... You must check the Close on Exit box to get the window closed. It doesn't matter if EXIT is in the .BAT file or not in this case. (When I converted my stuff from DOS to Windows, I had to remove EXIT from many .BAT files to stop the window from closing on me at awkward times.) I tripped up through poor testing. I tested the .BAT file first. Then I tested the .PIF file. Both worked as expected. Then I posted. I should've tested the .BAT and .PIF together before posting. (I had a bunch of stuff running and I didn't want to re-boot, which would've been necessary for a complete test.) I think Bicycle had the best approach: One file doing all the work. Cheers, PW. P.S. Now that you've expressed an interest in learning stuff... You could create a .JOB file to do this work. Open Schedule Manager and create a new scheduled task, giving it the job of cleaning out your unwanted files. Windows Help does a good job of taking you through the necessary steps.
