echo * ORBITAL CACHED PROFILE NUKER (OCPN) *
echo * ----------------------------------------------------- *
echo * Nuke them from orbit. It's the only way to be sure. *
echo * *
echo * Windows 2000/XP caches user profiles when you login. *
echo * Over time these use up a lot of space. Annoying. *
echo * *
echo * This script deletes those old profiles by using *
echo * "delprof.exe" from Microsoft. *
echo * *
echo *********************************************************

echo The next screen will let you set the number of days.

echo * IT'S NUKING TIME *
echo * ----------------------------------------------------- *
echo * *
echo * RULES for a safe and happy nuking: *
echo * *
echo * 1. Run this script with NETWORK ADMIN rights. Local *
echo * admin rights won't work. *
echo * 2. Run this script from the desktop, NOT a network *
echo * path. *
echo * 3. "delprof.exe" must be in the same directory as *
echo * this script. If you don't have it, Google and *
echo * download it. (system32 is also okay) *
echo * *
echo * After you enter the number of days and hit "enter" *
echo * the script will begin nuking! *
echo * *
