Garbage in wincmd.ini: unwanted entries which I don't need at all

[Fla$her]

Code: Select all

cmd=%comspec% /q/c for /r %temp% %%f in (wincmd.ini,wcx_ftp.ini) do del /q "%%~ff"

Why is there 'for', recursion, and a double percent sign?

Code: Select all

cmd=%comspec% /q/c del/q "%temp%\wincmd.ini" "%temp%\wcx_ftp.ini"

...Why is there...

Because, it's been firs that came into my mind, and it worked

Code: Select all

cmd=%comspec% /q/c del/q "%temp%\wincmd.ini" "%temp%\wcx_ftp.ini"

Nice. Thanks.

This is a bad idea for me...

It is not that bad at all to a dedicated user who still keeps going with a spark of pioneering and is committed to figuring out and differentiating what is actual garbage and what may be not, that said.

Edit

...firs that came into my mind

It's coming out as a cute typo. I am not gonna mend it. lol.

and it worked

%%f/%%~ff cannot work in cmd=.

It's grandiloquently said, but I'm more concerned with the practical side of the issue.

Oh, yes. Sorry.
I fixed my original message, just in case.
Thanks.

I prefer to delete the ini files before I start TC with fresh ini-files instead of after. That way I still have the last used tempory ini files, that I can re-use or examine after the TC session is closed - so in my Extended Menu I use:

Code: Select all

[em_ext_newcommander2]
cmd=%COMSPEC% /C
param=del "%%COMMANDER_INI%%\..\wcmd_tmp_*.ini" && start "Total Commander Basic" "%%COMMANDER_EXE%%" /i="%%COMMANDER_INI%%\..\wcmd_tmp_tc.ini" /f="%%COMMANDER_INI%%\..\wcmd_tmp_ftp.ini"
menu=Open New Instance of Total Commander with Fresh ini Files
button=%COMMANDER_EXE%
