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. -- Dwight A.
