This was tested in Windows XP. It allows for deletion of files and folders that will not allow for deletion while running Windows.
Steps To Add Feature
- Create a text file with this information:
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00 [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Delete on reboot\command] @="CMD /E:OFF /C REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Currentversion\\RunOnce /v \"Del %1 OnNextReboot\" /d ^\"cmd.exe /c DEL /F /Q \\\"%1\\\"\" /f\"" [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\*\shell\Open] [HKEY_CLASSES_ROOT\Folder\shell\Delete on reboot\command] @="CMD /E:OFF /C REG ADD HKEY_LOCAL_MACHINE\\SOFTWARE\\Microsoft\\Windows\\Currentversion\\RunOnce /v \"Del %1 OnNextReboot\" /d ^\"cmd.exe /c RD /S /Q \\\"%1\\\"\" /f\""
- Save it as a file with a .reg filename extension.
- Create a restore point in Windows (to backup the current registry before the change).
