This should happen automatically if you have your internet settings in IE on the hosting box are set to clear them out or keep them to a minimum. It should work the same way as it would on your PC..

Internet properties, temp internet files, settings..

I don't see where this setting is in Group policy, but in the old Poledit (Policy Editor) there is one. It is:
Temporary Internet Files (User)>Set amount of disk space to use (User). I think it is part of the inetcorp.adm

Hi,

Try setting your Temporary IE Cache Size to 1Mb, Delete them on the browser closing.

If you use Roaming profiles, this is easier, run gpedit.msc
Choose the following:-
+User Configuration
+Administrative Templates
+System
Logon/Logoff
Exclude directories in roaming profile

Enable this and Temp Internet Files will be excluded!

Makes life really easy!

Cheers,
Carl.

I may have missunderstood, Let me see if I have this str8..

Do you have IE published in Citrix, or are you talking about removing their temp intern. files on their workstations?

If you are publishing IE to the users, then you would only have to configure IE on each of the metaframe servers, not on their workstations.

Let me know.. I might be barking up the wrong tree here..

This is my ClearIE.bat

@echo off
n:
cddir N:\WTSRV\Profiles\*.* /b /s | find "\Temporary Internet Files\" > iedump.txt
dir O:\USERS\*.* /b /s | find "\Temporary Internet Files\" >> iedump.txt
for /f "tokens=1*" %%i in (iedump.txt) do del /q "%%i %%j"
del n:\iedump.txt

This checks two locations where profiles can be kept, and deletes all Temporary Internet Files.

I have this batch file scheduled to run once a week.

 

[Griffyn]

Just to clarify - coz I forgot this forum would wrap things about, there are are 7 lines in the batch file,
@echo off
n:
cddir.....
dir.....
for.....
del n:\iedump.txt

 

[derson]

thnaks for the batch will try tonight-daveR i am publishing ie5.5 through citrix so yes femp files are on the server but each user has their own ie5.5 settings so each of these would have to be changed-right?

When you log in, create in the Application Compatibility Scripts\Logon area, create an iecache.reg files
========
Windows Registry Editor Version 5.00

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\Cache\Content]
"CacheLimit"=dword:00000400

[HKEY_CURRENT_USER\Software\Microsoft\Windows\CurrentVersion\Internet Settings\5.0\Cache\Content]
"CachePrefix"=""
"CacheLimit"=dword:00000400
========

Cut and paste inside the "=" lines!

Add to usrlogon.cmd a
=====
RegEdit /S iecache.reg
=====

This will set the Cache size to 1Mb per user, so will decrease the size of the files!

Then using gpedit.msc select the following:-

User configuration
System
Logon/Logoff
Tick Exclude directories in roaming profile

Tick this with the default settings and Temp IE files won't be written to the users profile!

Does this help?

Cheers,
Carl.
