Re: Help! I'm getting pissed...

You are trying to run a Unix command on Windows. Won't work. Try replacing the rm with del and the "/" to a "\"/ "/" is the default path separator on Unix and "\" is the one for Windows. Be careful running scripts you know nothing about, especially if they involve "rm" or "del".
