Help request writing a batch file to delete folders

Hi all,

I am new to this forum and thought I might post a question.

I work in an Australian Government organisation and help out with the LAN. We are using windows NT. I am trying to write a batch file to delete users temporary internet files from each users NTPROFILE.

How do I write the batch file so that it search's each uers profile for a folder called Temporary Internet Files and then deletes the folder.

Basically I want the batch file to search the users drive (which is I Drive)

Users Name/Ntprofile/localsettings/temporary internet files

Hope this is not to confusing

Thanks
Jason

Support,

Thanks very much for taking the time to reply. Much appreciated.
There are 300 users (accounts) on our LAN. Will that command search
all 300 users accounts?

Thanks again

Jason

You could compile the file from Support and set it up in Startup folder for each machine. That would empty the individual's folder everytime a user logs in.

Better choice would be to have it execute on shutdown so the next backups would not be burdened with these temp files.
