Combine two commands

mark kreger

Is there a way to combine delete browser history and the clean up commands? Possibly clearing Chromes history as well as internet explorer?

@mark-kreger, you could create a c:\tools folder, and in it, create a ClearHistory.bat file in it with these contents:

REM Clear IE history:
rundll32.exe InetCpl.cpl,ClearMyTracksByProcess 255

REM Clear Chrome history:
cd /d C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data
del /s History*

Then create a TRIGGERcmd command that runs c:\tools\ClearHistory.bat

StartServer

I have the issue that the cmd window stays open after executing the bat file.
Usually cmd.exe /c or start /c would close the window. Here adding /c would not work at all.
Thoughts?

You should just be able to add an "Exit" command at the end of your batch.

Or, you can 'pipeline' your commands by putting the | command in between them:

 cd /d C:\Users\%USERNAME%\AppData\Local\Google\Chrome\User Data | del /s History*
