I got some good hits from the Google search with the filenames I never would have got hold of without your help zqwerty. Thanks.

This thread (www.daemon-tools.cc) from some other site had the answer:


ATTRIB -R -S -A -H "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SecuROM\UserData\*"

DEL "C:\Documents and Settings\<user>\Application Data\SecuROM\UserData\*"

Reading down further there, it looks like "rd" might have worked too, though I doubt it :\
