Temp Folder Deleted-Regretfully
I had a bunch of junk, at least I thought it was junk, in my
C:\Windows\Temp folder that could not be sent to the Trash, so I did what I have done on previous occasions and that was to delete the Temp Folder. Now when I boot the system, I get a MSDOS window that lists 3 lines C:\ Del c:\windows\cookies\index.dat " " " " History\ " " " " " " Temp " " The computer is a Gateway 233Mhz/P-II/320Mb Ram\W98SE w/all updates installed Will someone please help me rid my machine of this? Thanks |

Do Start \ Run \ Sysedit. Look in AUTOEXEC.BAT and if these three lines are
listed just delete them or REM them out and close and save the file.. You shouldn't be running without a TEMP folder. Or do you men you deleted the contents of the TEMP folder? -- Jeff Richards MS MVP (Windows - Shell/User) "Tom" wrote in message om...

Thanks DOS messages displayed at boot (before Windows loads) are echos from AUTOEXEC.BAT or CONFIG.SYS. But Win98 does not need these two files. Your problem may be solved simply by renaming both so they do not load themselves at reboot. -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) |

Thanks for your response. No I deleted the whole (freakin-Saprano's) folder.
In the past just rebooting the system restored the Temp folder. This time I got something for which I did not bargain. Checked "sysedit" nothing there to REM out. "Jeff Richards" wrote in message ...

I'm not clever enough to know the consequences of doing what you suggest. I
have occasion to use MS-DOS for the DOS Genealogy software program I have used since the days of my Tandy 1000EX. I found nothing in sysedit to help me-T "Don Phillipson" wrote in message ...

I found nothing in sysedit to help me-T You want to be logged (addressing) in DOS to the root directory e.g. C:\ and then issue the right DOS commands to REName files. For information, most DOS commands are sef- documenting via /? Thus keystrokes REN /? give you information about REName. Keystrokes CD /? give information about CD = Change Directory. To rename AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS (which are in the C:\ directory you key: C: CD.. REN AUTOEXEC.BAT AUTOEXEC.BAK REN CONFIG.SYS CONFIG.BAK Then reboot and see if Windows starts faster. If you want things the way they were, you can REName these files back using the REName command. / start / run / MSCONFIG.EXE is another way of altering or customising these files and their use. In Windows, there are usually several different ways of doing the DOS procedures you prefer, e.g. selecting the icon of your DOS application and right clicking on /Properties. The panels then invite you to write custom versions of AUTOEXEC.BAT and CONFIG.SYS that automatically run in a DOS box under Windows and set up your old Tandy program the way you want. Simplicity and convenience should guide you. What is simplest for you may seem the long way round to someone else, but that is normal in Windows . . . -- Don Phillipson Carlsbad Springs (Ottawa, Canada) At a DOS prompt key C: CD.. This shoul |
