Batch file in win 98

[SRaji]

We are using windows 98 systems. We need to delete the files in Temp and Temporary Internet Files folder regularly. Is there anyway to do this without user intervention? i.e by just clicking on the batch file it should automatically delete all the files without asking Y/N.

Thanxs in advance

[tab]Creating a batch file is easy. You could even set it up to be run by the scheduler. The problem is that some files in both directories may be held open by the OS. In this case the batch file would fail because it "errored out" on a file that could not be deleted. You will have to take this into account.

One way that I've got around this was to put it into the Autoexec.bat file so that Windows isn't open at that time.

Ya,
Put it in the Autoexec.bat.


example:

===================================
del c:\temp\*.* /y
del c:\windows\temp\*.* /y


====================================

Hi,
Thanks everyone for the suggestions. I tried creating a batch file and it works fine.

Thanks

Suppose I had 100 win98 clients that I wanted to add this entry to all Autoexec.bat files. Would I create a batch file that copies this entry to the Autoexec.bat.

What would the batch file look like ?

Put it in a login script - it runs after autoexec but before apps open.

see my note today in the NT forum if you are unsure how to do this.
