Has anyone used Spekan Purge Utility? How do you set up Windows so you can right click on file folder and purge?

Hi,

Just near the field where is setted the directory is a folder (in blue color). Click on it so you can set your directory where you want to purge/delete files.

Thanks Hora,
What I'm try to do is purge files in Windows Explorer.
I want to set up the file folder in Window Explorers so I can right click on the folder and see the purge command in the drop down list.
I think this is done from View/Options gray dialog box under File Types tab.
 
Hi again,

I seted up the folder properties so when you click with the right button you can choose to purge the entire folder. But it doesn't work with spekan, because in the command line of the spekan you must explicity type the folder. I think you can use purge utility that comes with pro/e. Tell me if you are still interested in this procedure.

I was directed to a tutorial that explains how to set up the purge utility in the right click drop-down menu for file folders. It instructed to create this batch file:

set path=d:\proe2001_2002430\bin\;%path%
cd /d "%1"
start /B purge.bat

Then, in Windows Explorer, View\Options dialog box, File Type tab, pick File Folder, Edit File Type dialog box, pick New, Edit Action dialog box, enter this batch file in Application used to perform action.

My question now is how to create a batch file?
 
A batch file is text file with .BAT extension.
