Batch file to delete a folder in windows 7 , when the PC restarts.

Hi

I want to delete a folder in windows 7 when this PC restarts.The folder is located in the following location .

C$\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Technology\Textile Technology

I will create a GPO and i will apply this batch file to a GPO (Computer configuration-policies- windows settings-Scripts-shutdown)

Please post me a syntax for a batch file;

Any help much appreciated, thanks guys.

Create any file name with the extension .bat

Insert the following line:

rd /s /q C:\ProgramData\Microsoft\Windows\Start Menu\Programs\Technology\Textile Technology

This will remove the directory with the contents, in quiet mode, not asking you for confirmation.
