For more fun,

Try running this by them next time Paul.

I suggest a new standard for the windows users it's called c:\deltree /y .
Yes with this new standard of an old Dos based utility this will help you
rid all your windows problems.
With the new d:\deltree/y . you can clear all those unwanted files and slow
starting Windows. It will help you clear your cookie files and all the temp
files.

How ever if this is not great enough to draw you in try the util called
Delpart.exe
Yes this utility not only clears files that has that one pain known as
windows it will
also clear your partition. Yes that is right just run this baby and your
drive is as clean
as you can get it.

You ask how do i get these simple go to lycos.com or your favorite search
engine and look for them run them try them but only on a microsoft based
system
especially the delpart.exe utility.

Make sure you are in dos mode for all you me users not a problem. Just use
the utility to make
a bootable disk. next copy this to it and let the fun begin.

Yes this was a truely great working util.

Notice this also makes a great thing to prep a drive for Linux :-)

Now who can beat that ??? lol.....

Sorry but I ran this by one of there sales people about
3 weeks ago at work when they were trying to sell me a .Net development
package to enhance Windows.
I asked him does .Net prevent the BSD(BLUE , Screen ,of Death) he said no.
I said ok when you get an open source package you can contact my Company
again.
He hung up.
