oem files

they keep multiplying!

I am sure this topic has been posted here previously - maybe long before I opted in!

When ever I download any upgrades from windows microsoft, I always seem to accumulate thousands of dreaded oem files in the Windows INF folder. I was given the following instructions on how to delete them but it doesn't seem to work, am I missing something out?

to delete oem files go to programmes and open ms dos prompt.

type C:\Windows\cd\windows\inf
then enter

C:\Windows\INF>dir
then enter again

then type del oem*.inf and by pressing enter this will go!

Not here......help please!

I don't know how that fits into "Content and Copywriting", but here is a syntax hopefully more clear:

Open a DOS shell
Win 9x, ME: Startmenu -> Run "command.exe"
WinNT, 2k, XP: Startmenu -> Run "cmd.exe"

at the prompt (usualle "C:\>" or "C:\Windows\>" or something like that), type

cd %windir%\inf

after that, your prompt should look like "C:\Windows\Inf\>" or "C:\Winnt\Inf\>".
Here, type

del oem*.inf
