Note to self....be more careful with self-made .bat files with del*.*
I am not sure yet if I lost anything Important. I am sure I will know In a couple days...
One nice thing is, it erased itself. :D
lol, damn dude, I haven't made a .bat file since Windoz 3.1 days...
wow, .bat files... I too haven't made one in years.
I remember when I firsted started programing, I was friggin amazed at the .bat file
now, they are but distant memories and hidden files we never see anymore

as a rule we have to load a certain .bat file everytime we log onto a computer at work. It does certain internet updates and such that I guess we need. I think it's just a pain in the butt. It takes like a minute to load and execute, then sometimes it freezes and takes up space. Not much, but still it's annoying.
On another note, I had a ping .bat file before. I'm trying to find a way to keep my portion of the network somewhat organized. I have 150 IPs and 3 other people to help out. 5 seperate locations where the computers are kept and people at every single location wanting another computer to use. I swear, I think people in the military forgot how to use a phone sometimes.

you shouldn't loose any info. just from deleteing a bat file. just check to see where it is being run from.
By rule of thumb you should never use the command line del *.*
it's just something you don't do. like format c:. no matter how badly you want to do it you always regret it later. usually by not backing something or another up.
The bat file we use at work is more of a log in script. but technically it is a bat file. and it's a great example of what a bat file should be used for. it and autoexec.bat.
