Is there an equivalent DOS command in XP? Thanks

Use RD /<DIR NAME>

or

REMDIR

From a command prompt, type rd /? to see the options and syntax

to
use.

That was Fast. I tried RD. It kinda works, but it needs the directory nameto delete it. DELTREE used to work
with the *.* wildcard arg. Any other suggs?

Zibandy,

Thank you for your reply... As I mentioned, rd /? says that the
directory be specified
in the arg. Deltree does not. It accepts the (quickly becoming
extinct) wildcard arg.

Any other suggestions are helpful.

Thanks...........

I am sure you will when in the right directory find that del /s *.* will do the
trick, except you will have to go back up one step and delete the directory like
rm directoryname.
