Deleting links

[kkolo]

I need to delete some links from older installs of our product from the _CSIDL_COMMON_STARTMENU folder.

I tried to use the following...
Delete Files "%_CSIDL_COMMON_STARTMENU%\Programs\dBASE PLUS\Readme - dBASE PLUS.lnk" [Remove read-only]

I double checked the spelling and case of the file name.

But, it didn't work.

Any suggestions?

Thanks, Kathy

Kathy,

If it does delete the file then you are trying to delete it from the wrong location.

The following function will remove a shortcut link if it is installed in the common program Start Menu:

Delete Files "%_CSIDL_COMMON_PROGRAMS%\dBASE PLUS\Readme - dBASE PLUS.lnk"

Does this help?

Thanks again!

It was my mistake. I was using the wrong directory.
