What a great idea Thad,
I would have never thought of redirecting the output. Thats been a pain in
my side for 10 years.

Thanks alot
Jeremy

The /Y switch forces a yes for many DOS batch file commands. We also
redirect the output so no messages are displayed on screen.

Example:

net use w: /delete /y >nul

Sorry, this is a bit off topic, but I thought somebody might know the answer
to this question.

Currently I use the following to delete a network drive in my logon script:

@net use R: /DELETE

On the odd occasion, it may ask for user intervention, saying that the drive
has files open are you sure you want to disconnect [Y/N].

What parameter can I add so that it disconnects the drive without any user
interaction?

Thanks,

Fausto
