That is a perfect answer... Smile Very definitive. I appreciate all the discussion and apologize for the confusion.

I'll try to answer a bunch of noob questions to make it up to ya. Smile

boing!


edit: oh and your script does give an error if you are a stupid user that clears cache twice in a row - however writing software that can survive stupid users is the biggest challenge in writing software. Smile

End of Story:

Ok here's the script that works without any possibility of user error (well, once it's installed correctly that is). Put the attached zip file (which contains an empty directory called CACHE) in your E:/ (that's the root dir of E drive).

<List Text="Clean Cache" Sort="Off" Batch="True">
<item action="messagebox" arg1="Clean Cache">This will clear your cache. This can help if many games don't start or hang.</item>
<Item Action="delete" Arg1="e:\cache"></Item>
<Item Action="Unzip" Arg1="E:\CACHE.zip" Arg2="E:\"></Item>
<Item Action="Format" Arg1="X" ></Item>
<Item Action="Format" Arg1="Y" ></Item>
<Item Action="Format" Arg1="Z" ></Item>
<item action="messagebox" arg1="Done">Cache is cleaned.</item>
</List>



CACHE.zip
 Description:
a zip file containing only an empty directory called CACHE

Download
 Filename:  CACHE.zip
 Filesize:  138 Bytes
 Downloaded:  55 Time(s)

you can add checks with renaming dirs but then you would first need to ftp to E drive make a dir like cachex

so after delete you can do a copy :

for example:

<Item Action="copy" Arg1="E:\CACHEX\" Arg2="e:\CACHE\"></Item>

so after delete it will copy it and you will have a CACHE dir

its not easy for a beginner to go create a dir cachex on E

Easier than me going and making a zip file etc... Smile It was fun figuring out the thing that 'couldn't be done' though. Smile

Thanks for working through it with me.

boing!

:) - I guess people without networks are much better off with your approach since it can all be done from within the file explorer. Of course people without networks are likely to be having someone with a network (at least a computer with a nic and a crossover) that are helping them get things set up.
