85467	2002-10-02 20:36:00	How can I get away from the Y / N request when I want to Del the contenys of a floppy in A Drive. Im using Del a:\*.* Thanks	John W (523)
85468	2002-10-02 21:18:00	You could try del a:\*.* /q That puts it into quiet mode and shouldn't ask you Y/N. Type del /? to get a list of other switches you can use.	CYaBro (73)
85469	2002-10-02 21:20:00	format a: /u /autotest will also do the job :) Mike.	Mike (15)
85470	2002-10-02 21:21:00	oops, should have used preview :) that should be: format a: /u /autotest will also do the job :) LOL Mike.	Mike (15)
85471	2002-10-02 21:22:00	then again, format a: /u /q /autotest will probably be a lot quicker sorry, I'm tired :( Mike.	Mike (15)
85472	2002-10-04 03:19:00	why not [pre]deltree /y a:\[pre]?	Graham L (2)
85473	2002-10-04 04:04:00	Surely you dont want to go back to DOS 6.22? That version didnt have the option, by default, to say No, so if you accidently typed del *.* in c:\ instead of a:\ you lost all your root files. Not good if you hadnt made a duplicate root directory. The y/n option was put into DOS 7 to help prevent that happening. I should just accept it and be happy.	Terry Porritt (14)
85474	2002-10-04 04:17:00	But you could say "undelete" ... They took that out of "version 7".	Graham L (2)
