Is there a way to execute an application under shortcuts, and then
complete
a second process. An application I use always inserts a folder and
subfolders on my drive C: and I would like to execute the app and
delete the folders it installs. At this time, I have two shortcuts to
accomplish this, but would like having one to do the job. Thanks

You could do it by embedding your commands in
a batch file, or you could join the commands with
an ampersand:

c:\install.exe & cmd /c rd /s /q "c:\Some Folder"




You know, I useta be real good at writing batch files. I guess "use it or
Lose it" is simply a fact. Thank you for pointing me to the correct path.
I work in 4NT and the code that did the trick was:

pushd C:\Program Files\Sierra\Hallmark Card Studio 2004
hcs & rd /s /q c:\sierra & exit

Your suggestion wasthe spark that lit a very dark area of my memory. I
appreciate your help greatly. This incluedes all of you who answered.
