Actually, I think what takes so long when deleting hundreds (I did 653
from \windows\temp because of TB!) or thousands (I did 32,000 + from
\windows\inf the other day because of WinME automatic updates) is if
you are doing it in a way that the files are sent to the recycle bin.
Once you get away from that, it goes much faster.
