Delete XML files when Saving to a Local File System

[cognos_guru]

So after searching through multiple sites and posts, I've determined there is no way to get rid of the XML descriptor file that Cognos creates when saving to a local file system WITHOUT the use of a modified/new batch file. 

I'm not familiar with writing .bat files, does anyone have an example that I can use to delete the XML descriptor file?

Also, is there anyway (outside of the .bat file) to prevent Cognos from creating a new folder in the saved location when a report is generated?  I have the location defined but new reports are created in a folder within the folder. 

Thoughts??  Thanks!
