I have been making an .exe to empty the OLK folder created by outlook

at the minute the folder location is hard written into the code

e.g C:\Documents And Settings\Luke\L ocal Settings

Is it possible to create a string variable and assign it the path based on a registry key so it would work on any pc not just on mine with my login?

the folder name and path can be obtained from HKEY-CURRENT-USER\Software\M icrosoft.......

yeah thats the problem - ctrl-alt-del and then finding the process is about as much effort as opening the folder manually I'll try that now

thanks

I haven't really used VB much before to create .exes only in access

I have made an exe that empty's a given folder so i can just click it and erase the contents.

somewhat of an embarrassing problem though, the exe wont stop running without me closing the form but i want the form to be invisible

any help would be gratefully received
