What utility are you using to delete the photos? Some photo viewing
software, or Explore, the Windows file mgr? If you can't delete the
files with the file mgr, use a dos command.

In the dos box, type the command:

cd C:\path\dir_with_photos\
rem photo_filenames

cd = change directory
rem = remove

Um no. REM stands for remark and is used in shell scripts, aka batch files.
The proper syntax is DEL. You can get help for the DEL command by typing
DEL /?.

DOS syntax is non case sensitive, BTW.

Truedat! And 'rm' is the remove command, or 'del'. And there's 'rmdir'
too to remove a directory (folder).

Nope, no rm command in the DOS shell that comes with XP. What you get with
XP is not DOS.

Ah, correct! It's been a long time.

But 'rmdir' is DOS and removes a directory.

A lot of DOS commands work in XP's pseudo-DOS or emulated DOS or what-
ever they call it. I've learned to use what's available and forget the
rest.

DELTREE was the preferred method.

Paul. please learn some Usenet quoting skills. I don't know what news
reader you use. Mine automatically quotes the previous poster's
material for me. There are some long standing Unenet quoting
conventions youb seem to be flouting and it's very confusing to the
reader.

your new reader does not do this for you it is incumbent on YOU to

DOH!

You are correct, of course. I've been using Linux too long, where rm
means remove. I gotta dig through some pretty cobwebby corners to
recall those old dos commands that are often no longer valid in what
is passing for dos in the newer Windows OSs. I attribute it to trying
answer technical question BC ....before coffee. ;)

Thank you sf. See Paul? It's not just my "newsreader", which is
GoogleGroups. Unless sf also uses GoogleGroups, then it may be
GoogleGroups. Otherwise, you are not properly quoting your replies to
others' posts.

Thank you sf. See Paul? It's not just my "newsreader", which is
GoogleGroups. Unless sf also uses GoogleGroups, then it may be
GoogleGroups. Otherwise, you are not properly quoting your replies to
others' posts.


The fact that OE does not quote your text is the fault of the software that
you use to post. OE in fact works just fine. There is a utility which
"fixes" OE but I don't care to use it. So if you want the problem to go
away, use something different to post with. I know this is really hard for
you to get but I simply don't care about your petty little problem. I know,
I know - it's impossible to imagine but there it is.

BTW, I am an IT consultant with 26 years of experience. I've done
everything in this business including working on RFCs back in the very early
days of the Internet or ARPANet as we called it then..

Looks like sf has got your fix rightcheer, Paul!! Using MicroSUCK's
POS software I see. Outlook Express! Whatta joke!

And I was kinda embarrassed to say I use GoogleGroups! At least I
didn't have to pay Herr Gates for his substandard not-yet-finished-but-
the-SP-will-be-out-soon BLOATware! (That is, if we don't have a whole
new malfunctioning OS for you by then that will fix everything for
you! Yeah RIGHT!)

Dude, suck it up. I am not modifying my computer to fix a problem on your

Bill Gates is still sore because he could not make The Internet into
his personal monopoly. MicroSUCKS is infamous for flauting long
established Internet standards and trying to make up their own.

Google has nothing to do with it. Your quoting is messed up because
you are using the software that needs to be fixed.

You don't even know what you're using. Here it is since you've
forgotten - X-Newsreader: Microsoft Outlook Express 6.00.2900.5931.

OE "works fine" at doing all the things it does correctly (which are
some) but it does not do everything it should correctly. Like quoting
previous poster's text when replying to a Usenet newsgroup post! But
to a Gatesian evil minion like Paul, there is no world of
incorrectness of anything MicroSUCKS publishes. A convenient delusion
promulgated by their leader..

Because the version Paul uses is not finished yet!

That's the way MicroSUCKS sells it's software. It's out the door and
sold before it's finished. Why do you think SP1 for WinXP was released
*before* WinXP was? (True story!)

So basically Paul is using an incomplete version of OE.

Why? I dunno, I suppose if they releasd SP2 first they would have felt
silly.
