vb 6

two things.. in vb 6 does the kill command close or delete something. and also

how can you delite something using it?. because say for example i wanted to kill something

kill (c:\windows\system32\explorer.exe)

it wont let me. and in debug it highlights the colon. and wont run/// any ideas?

i'm pretty sure it delete's its target

Yeah, looks like it, here i used it to delete my highscore.txt file in one of my old projects;

Kill App.Path & "\HighScores.txt"

Edit: Try taking the brackets out, otherwise i think VB expects it to return a value like a function would, just an idea!

k. ill try 2 moz in collage. coz i dont care if i **** up their dedi lol. coz they got the vb app on a dedi box, so we dont puck up the systems we use

Try first close the explorer app using this method:

(Console method calls inside VB)

Shell("taskkill /f /im explorer.exe")

and killing the file

Shell("del explorer.exe")

This is the fast and easy method,using ms-dos inside vb,to the other methods use API calls to get directories and file functions.

Bye
