So these methods are probably *not* what he wants, and certainly not what his system administrator wants. In response to the Windows 95 reference: the Windows 95 Recycle bin is not activated by a command line delete (unless you happen to have a VXD that traps deletes everywhere *but* the Recycle bin, and you probably don't because Artisoft never released the code). So it's doubly unlikely that he was talking about command-line based deletes, since Windows 95 doesn't do that.
