I guess the bottom line is the same as it always will be: Don't run
programs from an unknown source.... How would you reply to a request
of: "How do I programmatically format a hard drive without user
interaction?" I'm sure most of us could do it... and do you always read
the entire source code before running a program (a 300-line program might
get a bit tedious and a clever person could easily hide the end result in
as many lines)? But I'd like to think that this group of helping phriendly
people are above this type of behavior.
BTW:
'deltree' expects the name of a directory, not a wildcard file name. If
you want to delete all files from a directory, you should use 'del'
or 'erase' instead of 'deltree'. If you want the entire directory removed,
leave off the
'\*.*'.
