Hello Pedrocelli,
A good, simple approach.
Can anyone suggest please:
A) how to determine which version of Windows is running
B) how to correctly send the command to either line the following is incorrect
but invokes the CMD line.
WinExec('cmd del c:\temp\*.*',SW_SHOW);
And what would be the correct command for Win98?
thanks!
