About Alex Barry
Expertise
I have been a qbasic programmer since 2000, creating games, minor libraries and various small programs. I have experience using interrupts, graphics, file input/output, the mouse cursor, and using libraries. I have also learned FreeBASIC, c/c++, python, php and html.
I do not claim to be an absolute authority in any language, but I don't mind looking things up and learning with you.

Experience
Hobby programming since 2000

I no longer belong to any community programming groups, but do have knowledge of *basic dialects and C/C++

Qbasic, Quickbasic - script writing


Expert: Alex Barry - 3/22/2009

Question
Hi:

I was wondering if you could help me write a simple "run" program or script.  I have Windows Vista.  Every night I click on Start | Run and in the windows type %temp% and then click on o.k.  This brings up my temp folder.  I then manually delete any files I do not want left in there.  Is there any easy command or script I can write and then make a shortcut to on my desktop so when I double click on it that temp folder window will automatically open without having to take those first few steps?

Thank You.

Paul


Answer
Hi, Paul,

This really isn't a QBasic question, but here are a few ideas:
On your desktop, do a right click -> new -> shortcut
For the path, just type %temp%

If you want something that does this, you may want to check out the program ATF-Cleaner

I hope that helps,
-Alex
