Hi all,

Is there a way to delete the $NtUninstall* folders using the command prompt?

I need it to create a batch file to do that.

Thanks!

I think that you should be able to script MVP Doug Knox's utility to do
it for you: http://www.dougknox.com/xp/utils/xp_hotfix_backup.htm

ha, be careful.
I did this to try to clean up disk space. I was unable to remove
software afterwards. And other wierd things started to happen (cant
remember)

Here is a batch file that will do that:
(Change "C:" if necessary)

----------copy-inside-only----------
@echo off
for /d %%a in (C:\WINDOWS\$NtUninst*) do rd /s /q "%%a"
pause

----------copy-inside-only----------

Using the %windir% or %systemroot% variable will take care of the drive
letter and Windows directory.
