Recersive Delete
okay i know i have asked this one before but...
how do you delete a folder and all the folders in it...
cant use vb script "filesystemobject" as virus scanners think its a malicious script *cough* norton *cough*
and i cant use deltree (no support on nt/2k/xp)
so is there a way i can delete a directory and its contents (there are sub directorys) or everything in the directory (including the subfolders)
