I'm trying to figure out the best way to delete a directory without waiting for it to complete. I have code that does this, but when there are lots of subdirectories and files it takes a long time to complete. Once I've started the delete I'd like the rest of the program to continue without waiting. What is the best way to do this?

You can issue a command to the commandline using createprocess from the win api without waiting for it to finish.
If you are deleteing using fortran commands/routines you need a new thread....

You can run a program named "start", with either an application or batch file.
From cmd window, issue "start /?" to get the list of options.
Then from your FORTRAN program you can issue the command with the appropriate options and arguments.
