Is There A Way To Make A PDF Or Other Document Self Destruct Or?

Yes, either using a third party software or just using Batch script. 1. Check out this software. Cyber-D's Autodelete 3.12 if you prefer third party, it actually does what you want exactly. 2. This tutorial shows something similar using batch files and task scheduler. Auto Delete All Files Of a Folder, Desktop After A Time Interval 3.This very simple batch script does basically the same job. @echo off ping -n 11 127.0.0.1 > NUL del "test.txt" exit To use it, just open a text file, copy and paste these lines and save it as a .bat file in the same folder as the file you want to delete. Notice that you need to specify the time (in seconds) and the name of the file in the batch script. In my example, the number of seconds specified in line 2 is "11" (after "ping -n") to make it wait for 10 seconds (you always write n+1 instead of n), the name of the file is "test.txt", specified in line 3. If you don't want to put the files in the same folder, just explicitly specify the path in the del command. For example. del "c.\anyfolder\test.txt" Now your batch file is ready to run, when you run it you'll notice that it opens a CMD window you could either minimize it or just use another script to make it hidden. CreateObject("Wscript.Shell").Run "test.bat",0,True This script should be written alone in a .vbs file that is saved next to the batch script file. This time instead of double clicking the batch file, double click the .vbs and the command line window won't appear. I encourage you , if you spend a lot of time on computers, to learn Batch scripts and AutoHotkeys. Scripting is a valuable skill that you'll get in relatively short time and will magnificently help you with computers.
