how to delete multiple folders,desktop and start menu shortcut using vbscript
- by user1756858
I never did any vbscript before, so i don't know if my question is very easy one. Following is the flow of steps that has to be done :
Check if exist and delete a folder at c:\test1 if found and continue. If not found continue.
Check if exist and delete a folder at c:\programfiles\test2 if found and continue. If not found continue.
Check if a desktop shortcut and start menu shortcut exist and delete if found. If not exit.
I could delete 2 folders with the following code:
strPath1 = "C:\test1"
strPath1 = "C:\test1"
DeleteFolder strPath1
DeleteFolder strPath1
Function DeleteFolder(strFolderPath1)
Dim objFSO, objFolder
Set objFSO = CreateObject ("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
If objFSO.FolderExists(strFolderPath) Then
objFSO.DeleteFolder strFolderPath, True
End If
Set objFSO = Nothing
But i need to run one script to delete 2 folders in different paths, 2 shortcuts one in start menu and one on desktop.
I was experimenting with this code to delete the shortcut on my desktop:
Dim WSHShell, DesktopPath
Set WSHShell = WScript.CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
DesktopPath = WSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop")
on error resume next
Icon = DesktopPath & "\sample.txt"
Set fs = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
Set A = fs.GetFile(Icon)
A.Delete
WScript.Quit
It works fine for txt file on desktop, but how do i delete a shortcut for an application from desktop as well as start menu.
