Deleting desktop icons using batch?

I'm trying to create a batch that will delete an icon from the desktop however its not working could anyone elaborate on this?

del "%userprofile%\Bureaublad\AutoCAD 2006.i开发者_如何学JAVAco"

Second part of my question, the %userprofile% works fine at work however is this valid with home pc's?

maybe Your script waits the confirmation of deleting file?

try:

echo y | del "%userprofile%\Bureaublad\AutoCAD 2006.ico"

your code should be working wonderfully...do you maybe mean a program link? Then the extension would have to be .lnk ?

so it would be:

   del "%userprofile%\Bureaublad\AutoCAD 2006.lnk"

Should work with any windows Pc - only problem could be UAC with Vista and upwards.

Well, %userprofile% will get you to the User directory, not the Desktop directory. Try writing something like

del "%userprofile%\Desktop\MyIcon.ico"

Btw, if you by "icon" actually mean the shortcut for the application in question the extension would not be .ico but .lnk

And yes, %userprofile% should work on your home PC as well.

PS: All of the above is assuming that you are using Windows.
