Hy,

call the format.com (In the System32 directory and overgive the parameters
you need).

This should work.

Hy Pola

you must call format.com with following parameters:
format.com A: /Y

so now it works without confirm.

Which Windows Version did you use?
It works under XP and 2000.

Try it in the command line.
 
Hi Joerg,

I need a function that runs a program directly when you receive an email,
are you supported that also.

I think it is not good to help with this kind of questions. Peter X did
pointed us on that.

Just my opinion.

help you.

Ok then please make the following steps:

1. Create a File (eg. C:\test.txt)
2. Edit the file content to Y
3. Save it
4. Call: format.com A: < C:\test.txt

this should definitivly work.

Joerg
