Klaus,

I tried but there's not one single command that will do delete both files 
and folders in the folder (i can't delete the folder because of the 
extensive properties it has.)

Except for this ugly thing...

net use x: /d
net use x: \\bruegel\transfer$

del /f /q *.*
for /D %d in (*.*) do rd "%d" /s /q

h:
net use x: /d

Alex, im only using the rev.exe under MC. I cannot upgrade to Rev until 
their support starts delivering the kind of quality support we need to 
support our banking production environment. Price is not the problem alas. 
I also doubt very much that RevDeleteFolder will handle our ultralong 
paths and special unicode paths... Just a feeling.

Cheers
Xavier
