Or, for that matter, you could use the DOS method of deleting all
files:
for %a in (*.*) do del %a > nul
Or you could use the GNU rm utility (like I do)
rm [-r] *
BTW: Is your "YES" program checking if the stdout stream has closed?
You should check for that. Otherwise, you don't have any exit
condition, and it'll get cought in an endless loop.
