OK, now that the obvious suggestions are taken care of, here's one that's a
little less efficient but more selective.

outside batch:
	for %a in (*.*) do del %a

inside batch:
	for %%a in (*.*) do del %%a

(%)%a can be replace with a different %% variable if you like.
in (*.*) can be replaced with a list like:
	for %%a in (*.$$$ *.BAK *.JNK JUNK*.*) do del %%a

You can do some great things with this.

             I doubt any of these opinions are those of my employer.
                   I don't agree with ANYTHING they say.
