Delete on Reboot

[LurchMan 2]

Hey Everyone -

I searched the forums for a bit looking for something that will delete a file automatically on next reboot and couldn't really find anything practical. Below is my solution for auto deleting a file, just figured I would share it with the community, enjoy!

Func _DeleteOnReboot ($sFile)
    $rtn = DllCall ("kernel32.dll", "int", "MoveFileEx", "str",'"' & $sFile & '"' , "str", Default, "int", 4) ;4 and default means delete on next reboot.
    If $rtn[0] = 0 Then
        Return 1 ;Error
    Else
        Return 0 ;Success
    EndIf
EndFunc

Read up a bit more on the use of DllCall. The second parameter should be a NULL pointer, so:

DllCall ("kernel32.dll", "int", "MoveFileEx", "str",'"' & $sFile & '"' , "ptr", 0, "int", 4)

Thank you, this was my first attempt at using DllCall.
