Flashback to the days of DOS...

[LarryHookins]

In file English.bat (and all the batch files) you can get rid of the questions about deleting by adding "ECHO Y|" to the beginning of the "del" lines like this:

ECHO Y|del RESOURCE\Textures\Loading\*.*
ECHO Y|del RESOURCE\Sounds\VOICE\*.*
ECHO Y|del RESOURCE\Textures\WorldMap\reload\*.*
ECHO Y|del PROGRAM\DIALOGS\*.h

No sense confusing a user when the questions can be answered automatically.

Thanks a lot, Hook. I knew there was some way to automate it, but I couldn't figure out how anymore, even though I used to know. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/oops3.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="ops2" border="0" alt="oops3.gif" />

Alternatively that would be done with '/q' option:
<!--quoteo--><div class='quotetop'>QUOTE</div><div class='quotemain'><!--quotec-->del /q RESOURCE\Textures\Loading\*.*
del /q RESOURCE\Sounds\VOICE\*.*
del /q RESOURCE\Textures\WorldMap\reload\*.*
del /q PROGRAM\DIALOGS\*.h<!--QuoteEnd--></div><!--QuoteEEnd-->

What does /q mean? <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/unsure.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid=":?" border="0" alt="unsure.gif" />

/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to delete on global wildcard

Open a command window, type del /? to get a list of options, including that one. I'd suggest doing it in an empty folder, just in case. <img src="style_emoticons/<#EMO_DIR#>/smile.gif" style="vertical-align:middle" emoid="" border="0" alt="smile.gif" />

This is newer than the version my DOS manual covers. First time I've heard of it too.

It turns out there's a whole set of documentation on the old "DOS" commands in Windows XP. Click Start->Help and Support and type "command line reference" into the search box.
