| 92719 | 2002-10-26 22:04:00 | There should be a space between the Q and the "shared.." as Babe showed. The spaces are critical to success |

| 92720 | 2002-10-27 05:38:00 | typed with spaces still parameter format not correct "Q"shared folder 1"". i must be doing something wrong.. |

| 92721 | 2002-10-27 06:02:00 | Then just leave the Q out (all it does is suppress the "are you sure you want to...." prompt.) What happens with it left out? (you can answer Y if its going to delete the directory you want deleted) |

| 92722 | 2002-10-27 06:17:00 | Johnboy, You are obviously leaving out the spaces in the command. The command for RemoveDirectory (RD or RMDIR) is as follows RD /S /Q "shared folder 1" there is a space between the RD and the first qualifier /S there is a space between the first qualifier /S and the second qualifier /Q there is a space between the second qualifier /Q and the directory name "shared folder 1" (and the quotes are required Babe. |

| 92724 | 2002-10-27 06:29:00 | Johnboy, Please read my last post carefully... it seems you are still not putting the exact command line in properly. Have another go following that previous instruction of mine. Cheers, Babe. |

| 92725 | 2002-10-27 06:33:00 | i know its me ... sorry last post i left Q out it said invalid switch this one i did as follows RD /S /Q "shared folder 1" it now says the system cannot find the file specified |

| 92726 | 2002-10-27 06:37:00 | Johnboy, Ok that means that the file (directory) is not at the place you are currently at . 1 . If you type CD and press the enter key what is the command prompt returned? 2 . When you type DIR and press the enter key what is the directory information returned? Cheers, Babe . |

| 92728 | 2002-10-27 07:06:00 | Johnboy, Ok, from that post of yours it looks like there is no space before the 1 in that shared folder directory which you wish to delete. If so then the command is RD /S /Q "shared folder1" Cheers, Babe. |
