Posted by me at PCTalk forums: Sun Jul 28, 2002 9:58 pm Post subject: XP Temporary Internet Files and Index.dat cleanup

--------------------------------------------------------------------------------

I have been working on a bat file to remove History, Temporary Internet Files and Temp from user's profiles on XP like I have already had for some time now available for 98,95,98se at my site.

What I have come up with so far is you need to be in Administrator or another user that has admin rights and the users cannot have files locked from other users to see. You cannot be in the user for which you are running this.

Below is the contents of the bat file I created to use here while logged into the Administrator profile
Code:



cd G:\Documents and Settings\Coyote\

rd /s /q Recent

rd /s /q Cookies

cd G:\Documents and Settings\Coyote\Local Settings\

rd /s /q Tempor~1

rd /s /q History

rd /s /q Temp


exit





This can be created by copying the text and pasting it to a new text file and saving it as "name.bat" with the drop down for "Save as type:" in the bottom of the "Save as" window to "All files"

You will need to change the:
cd G:\Documents and Settings\Coyote\
to the user you want to set this up for and the proper drive. Also you can duplicate into the same file for the next user.

Then you simply double click on that file's icon to start it.

I will improve upon this in the future for those that are interested.

Let me know your recommendations.

And I know there are programs available that do this for you, there are some of us that do not want additional programs and look for other means to fix problems.
