Is there a batch file available that will delete files in the spool\printers
folder?  Batch files I've tried can't handle read-only files like the *.spl
files.  Thanks, Diane

If your only problem was deleting read-only files, then use the command
deltree rather than delete.  Use it with caution - especially when using
wildcard characters.

Use the command as you would the delete command.  Deltree is like delete on
steroids.
