I need some help with some coding.

How do I write a code to delete all of the cookies of a currently logged on user on the computer? And prompt a message saying it has been deleted at the end of the job?

And how do I search for all files ending in *.txt in drve C and save the search as a text file to a folder?

Thanks.

According to your title I assume you want these to be DOS. The first can't be done in DOS, the second can.

You should look into Visual Basic or VBScript for this.

And how do I search for all files ending in *.txt in drve C and save the search as a text file to a folder?
cd\
dir /s /b *.txt > c:\searched.txt

In Command prompt, how do I use redirection to create a text file from the Help command?

I want to list all of the DOS commands with a brief description of each command.

Thanks.

The ">" sign copies all data outputted to a text file.

Example...
help > help.txt
