But even this isn't foolproof. What if there exists a FILE with the name
temp and not a directory? In that case if exist temp will also return
true.
If there's a file named temp you can't CD to it I'd assume... :-)
cd /d %temp%
cd ..
to avoid problems.
Good point.

Re: Delete all temp files after using Voyager
Hello Peter, Hi all, I found that Voyager sometimes leaves traces on the host machine not only in the registry, but also in the temp file of the current user. I have a batch file, that removes all temp data on *my* computer. Here it is: ,- [ del_temp.bat ] I use the following: cd \Docume~1\Rick\Locals~1\Temp ATTRIB -r -a -s -h /s /d rmdir /s /q C:\docume~1\rick\locals~1\temp CD\temp ATTRIB -r -a -s -h /s /d rmdir /s /q C:\temp CD\windows\temp ATTRIB -r -a -s -h /s /d rmdir /s /q C:\windows\temp Even this doesn't remove all the temp files but that is only a couple of them As for registry keys, EXPORT the one you want to delete, make a copy of that file, edit it and add a - in front of it. Then double click and add it to the registry. If done correctly it should remove the offending entries Current beta is 3.86.07 | 'Using TBBETA' information: http://www.silverstones.com/thebat/TBUDLInfo.html IMPORTANT: To register as a Beta tester, use this link first - http://www.ritlabs.com/en/partners/testers/
