[forwarding my response to the list, as the reply function didn't quite work] Actually, that's not true. 'rm -rf' removes all files, directories and subdirectories. Microsoft's del has no analogy to that (although there was a deltree command in older versions of DOS). You still have to manually (or programmatically) iterate through the directory structure and run 'del *.*' and then 'rd directory' in every single subdirectory to achieve the same result that the single command 'rm -rf' gives you on UNIX-like systems.

So? Windows has this thing called the "del" command that does the same thing as "rm". Regards, Adam.
