Delete WDB + Start WoW.bat code for XP & Vista

[gimmeurlife]

Ok so this is basically just the code to use to make a .bat file for Windows XP and another for Windows Vista that will automatically delete your WDB folder inside your Cache folder and then autostart your WoW.exe for you.

For the Windows XP version:

1. Open a new text file in Notebook.
2. Copy and paste the code below and edit the part that says "Complete path to your WDB folder" and put in the COMPLETE path to your WDB folder in your WoW directory WITHOUT the quotation marks.

cd "Complete path to your WDB folder"
deltree /y enus
cd..
cd..
wow

3. Save it as WoWKillCache.bat or whatever you want to name it, just make sure that you select "Save as" then "All Files" in the drop down menu and save it as a .bat
4. Place it on you desktop or wherever you want it and double click it to delete your cache and start you WoW.exe both at once.

And you're done!



Now for Vista follow the same steps for 1 - 3 as above but use this code below.

cd "Complete path to your WDB folder"
RD /s enus
cd..
cd..
wow

Then same as above place this on your desktop or wherever and double click it to delete the cache and start your WoW.exe BUT in Vista this will pull up a window asking you to type "y" for yes to confirm the delete or "n" for no to abort it.

The difference in the codes is because the "deltree" command is incompatible with 64-bit systems so you have to use the "RD" command in its place.

Makes it a lot faster to delete your cache and start WoW when changing servers or changing realms within a server.

Hope this helps some of you guys
