Hi,

I want to delete a file on the desktop but want to do it without specifying the \user\ directory.

I'm using
Code:
CreateObject("WScript.Shell").SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\Docs.pdf"

How do I designate the desktop as the directory to delete Docs.pdf from?

Any help would be appreciated as usual

Excel Facts

Why does 9 mean SUM in SUBTOTAL?
It is because Sum is the 9th alphabetically in Average, Count, CountA, Max, Min, Product, StDev.S, StDev.P, Sum, VAR.S, VAR.P.
Found it..

Code:
    Dim oWSHShell As Object


    Set oWSHShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
    Kill oWSHShell.SpecialFolders("Desktop") & "\ShippingDocs.pdf"
