Thats all thats available for dos, unless you want to use Take Command (http://www.jpsoft.com/) which is a fantastic replacement. RD and rmdir are the same two commands, both only have two switches and do exactly the same for each one. deltree (http://terrikaduck.netfirms.com/deltree.zip) works in Windows 7 32bit just fine but you will run into trouble with 64bit. rmdir /q /s works exactly the same but I just make a batch file for 64bit called deltree.bat and stick that into the system32 folder.

For example: rd directoryname /s will alway delete the directory itself. But Deltree does not delete the directory itself if there is a backslash at the end of the directory name. That is what I am looking for in Windows XP. Does anyone know a real equivalent command of Deltree in Windows XP other than a batch file? RD is not an equivalent of Deltree.
