[wpkg-users] Getting crazy with plain old dos/cmd command...

[Michael J. Kidd]

Hello!
  del, copy, and rd (which you've used or tried to use ) are all part of
the cmd shell, and not stand alone executables.  SO, in order to access
them you much invoke a cmd shell first with cmd /c YOURCOMMANDS HERE

like:
cmd /c del /q "%ALLUSERSPROFILE%\Desktop\Ivana.lnk"
