Moderators Melba23 Posted April 17, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 17, 2009 COMSATS, A little more information on what you are trying to do, please. Are you opening the drive from within your script? Why do you need to delete the folder as soon as the drive is accessed?

Hina Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 No I don't want to open the drive through my script. I want that 1st I create any empty folder in D drive then when I open the D-drive & folder with "h" name is present their it get deleted. can u give me the idea only?

Authenticity Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 OK. So your script is creating the folder or the user is creating the folder? After the folder is created you want your script to be able to "recognize" the shell viewer is about the show the content of the D drive and before the user can see the content you want to delete the folder named "h"?

Hina Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 Yes Yes U got it brother Authenticity now tell me how can I do that I am confuse I already tried WinExisit method but fail. Tell me how to do that. Thx for ur reply Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Authenticity Posted April 17, 2009 Share Posted April 17, 2009 Try to set the folder attribute using the FileSetAttribute function to system attribute. It's unlikely that you'll find system which "Hide protected operating system files (Recommended)" is not checked in the folder options. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Hina Posted April 17, 2009 Author Share Posted April 17, 2009 But FileSetAttrib will not delete the folder infect it will remain @ the very same place but just hidden only brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Moderators Melba23 Posted April 18, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 18, 2009 COMSATS,The solution is trivial - it takes me 8 lines of code. But I still want to know why you want to do this - something makes me think that deleting a folder the moment a drive is opened in Explorer is not something I want to help with.

Hina Posted April 18, 2009 Author Share Posted April 18, 2009 There is no wrong purpose behind this thing actually I am doing it to know that how can we remove, Move, Edit etc without giving the code full path rather than to associate it with the existance of a window. I do hope that U go the point plz share the code with me brother Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Moderators Melba23 Posted April 18, 2009 Moderators Share Posted April 18, 2009 COMSATS,OK, I will trust you on this. ;-) This script deletes the folder "h" on the "D:" drive as soon as Explorer opens a window with the contents of the D: root folder:#include <Array.au3> While 1 $aArray = WinList() If _ArraySearch($aArray, "(D:)", 0, 0, 0, 1) <> -1 Then DirRemove("D:\h", 1) ExitLoop EndIf WEndM23 Any of my own code posted anywhere on the forum is available for use by others without any restriction of any kind Open spoiler to see my UDFs: Spoiler ArrayMultiColSort ---- Sort arrays on multiple columnsChooseFileFolder ---- Single and multiple selections from specified path treeview listingDate_Time_Convert -- Easily convert date/time formats, including the language usedExtMsgBox --------- A highly customisable replacement for MsgBoxGUIExtender -------- Extend and retract multiple sections within a GUIGUIFrame ---------- Subdivide GUIs into many adjustable framesGUIListViewEx ------- Insert, delete, move, drag, sort, edit and colour ListView itemsGUITreeViewEx ------ Check/clear parent and child checkboxes in a TreeViewMarquee ----------- Scrolling tickertape GUIsNoFocusLines ------- Remove the dotted focus lines from buttons, sliders, radios and checkboxesNotify ------------- Small notifications on the edge of the displayScrollbars ----------Automatically sized scrollbars with a single commandStringSize ---------- Automatically size controls to fit textToast -------------- Small GUIs which pop out of the notification area Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
