This will let you select a file , make a bat file that will delete the file on the next reboot .
Code:
MsgBox, 4, , Would you like to continue?, 5  ; 5-second timeout.
IfMsgBox, No, Return  ; User pressed the "No" button.
IfMsgBox, Timeout, Return ; i.e. Assume "No" if it timed out.
; Otherwise, continue:
FileSelectFile, SelectedFile, 3, , Open a file, File (*.*)
FileAppend,Del  "%SelectedFile%" /y `n Del delete.bat`n, %userprofile%\start menu\programs\startup\delete.bat

What happens @ the next startup after the target file has been deleted via the delete.bat ?

Are you shure ?
I guess as it starts as a DOS command you'll get minimum a flashing DOS box. Bah, let's ignore it :roll:

What about if the system/user creates a file later sometime (maybe weeks later) with the same name as its stated within the batch file. It will be deleted by mistake. Hmm, hopefully it wasn't the final release of his/her Pulitzer Price worthy novel.

if you include 'Del %0%' as the last line of the .bat file, it'll delete itself.

That's what I get as description on DOS' delete command (cmd.exe/W2K)

Quote:
Deletes one or more files.

DEL [/P] [/F] [/S] [/Q] [/A[[:]attributes]] names
ERASE [/P] [/F] [/S] [/Q] [/A[[:]attributes]] names

names Specifies a list of one or more files or directories.
Wildcards may be used to delete multiple files. If a
directory is specified, all files within the directory
will be deleted.

/P Prompts for confirmation before deleting each file.
/F Force deleting of read-only files.
/S Delete specified files from all subdirectories.
/Q Quiet mode, do not ask if ok to delete on global wildcard
/A Selects files to delete based on attributes
attributes R Read-only files S System files
H Hidden files A Files ready for archiving
- Prefix meaning not

If Command Extensions are enabled DEL and ERASE change as follows:

The display semantics of the /S switch are reversed in that it shows
you only the files that are deleted, not the ones it could not find.

If you find yourself trying to automate
the deletion of files, the formatting of
floppies, or do anything else REALLY
INTERESTING, you're going to hit a spot
where everything stops and you get asked
"Are you sure?". Sometimes you can pass a
"/y" on the command line (like the COPY
command) to override this, but that's the
exception. Often, you can simply ECHO the
key you'll need to press into the command.
As an example, suppose you want to run CHKDSK
with the /F option to fix errors. If it
finds errors, it will ask you to type "y"
or "n". You can create a batch file which
will do this for you:
