📎 AI Summary:
The thread discusses how to recursively delete files with specific extensions (.PRG and .P00) on a Windows partition. The original poster seeks a way to execute PowerShell scripts directly from context menu or batch files without manually opening PowerShell. The expert suggests using `powershell.exe -command` within batch files and provides guidance on embedding PowerShell commands into BAT or CMD scripts, concluding that the same method applies consistently.

Hello!

I need to recursively to remove all extensions PRG and P00 on single partition.
I know that recursively can work XCOPY, but renaming is other task.
How to create batch to remove all these extensions of files and folders (if exist) recursively?

Thank you for each help, suggestion or reply and comments.

You need to make sure your execution policy will allow powershell scripts Set-ExecutionPolicy -Scope MachinePolicy -ExecutionPolicy RemoteSigned then you should be able to just run a script by right clicking it and say "Run with Powershell"

Policy I know that needs to allow.
I mean not execution by right click from menu.
Really command which can be used as submenu in context menu directly starting script, like BAT or CMD has batches - similar way.
Anything like
\CLASSES_ROOT\*\SHELL\Remove Extensions\command\(Default)...
...execute.bat "%1"
and so on...

You don't need to. Just call powershell.exe -command " & { <command> }"

Ok, how to embed whole script - this code:

Code: 
$FilePath = $args[0]

$Filename = Split-Path -Path $FilePath -Leaf
$Content = Get-Content -Path "$FilePath" | Out-String
$MeasuredData = Measure-Object -InputObject $Content -Line -Word -Character

$FormattedOutput = "Extension $($FileName): Words: $($MeasuredData.Words) Lines: $($MeasuredData.Lines) Chars: $($MeasuredData.Characters)"

[System.Windows.Forms.MessageBox]::Show($FormattedOutput)
