	Ah, good 'ol DOS.  This is what I usually do:

del c:\progra~1\netscape\naviga~1\cache\*.* < c:\abc

I then create a file called abc in the root that just has one line, the
letter "Y" (no quotes) and a hard return.  What this does is pass file to
the del command.  The del command gets a y, and deletes all the files.
(You can came the abc file whatever you want.  I call it Y, but then the
example gets confusing.)

Good luck with it.
