I would like a macro to kill only all excel files in all the directories in my computer. Can anyone write the procedure to do this. Thanks very much.

Click the italics "fx" icon to the left of the formula bar to open the Functions Arguments dialog. Help is displayed for each argument.
This seems like a very strange request. Why would you want to do this?

A non-VBA approach would be to right click on your MY COMPUTER, click on SEARCH, under the ALL FILES AND FOLDERS ,ALL OR PART OF THE FILENAME, type *.xls and click SEARCH.

Highlight the results of the search and press delete.

If you really want to do this, and I've got to agree iit is a strange request, why not just use the DOS command del *.xls?
