Hello again

Thanks for replying.

Wrote the first requests before I experienced trying to delete multiple
empty folders.

Didn't realize at the time how many extra steps the script adds with
multiple folder removal.

What I'm essentially looking for is a fast, completely stripped down
version.

1. Automatic search for empty folders on D:\ when script is launched
2. After scan is completed, if any empty folders are identified,
notepad display of all empty folders found & a prompt with the option to
delete all empty folders at once (not one at a time).
3. Answer "no", script ends, notepad closes.
4. Answer yes, all folders deleted, directly followed by the prompt
"Empty Folders removed. Do you want to rescan D:\". When answered in
the affirmative, D:\ scan is rerun. When answered in the negative,
script terminated.

Much appreciated if you could tell me how to properly pare it down.
Whenever you get the time.

Thanks again

~Jake
