The Solution Rating System

With so many solutions, how can you tell which solutions are most likely to help you and which ones are not? To provide you with a tool to use, we rate our solutions based on various elements that most accurately determine if a solution is a quality solution. To explain what factors affect the solution rating, here are the elements we take into consideration when formulating our solution rating.

The Grade of the Solution
The Zone Rank of the Expert Providing the Solution
The Number of Author and Expert Comments
The Number of Experts Contributing
The Feedback of the Community

Your Input Matters
Because of the way the system is set up, the most important variable in this equation is you. As a member of Experts Exchange, you are able to cast your vote on the quality of the solutions in regard to how complete, accurate, helpful and easy to understand each solution is. When you provide your feedback, each rating is adjusted accordingly. So, if you see a solution that has a poor rating that you think is a good solution, let us know by rating it. As you do, the rating will be adjusted and will become more accurate for other members of our site.

Batch file to delete temporary internet files and others

Asked by RDAdams in Windows 2000 Operating System

Tags: files, delete, internet, temporary, batch

I am trying to write an efficient batch file to do some cleanup for systems in our network prior to recreating new systems and copying some saved files over to the new computer.

The following is what I am trying to clean up....
---------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------------
User Specific files:
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\History
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temp
C:\Documents and Settings\user\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5

General System files:
C:\WINNT\Temp
C:\WINNT\system32\spool\PRINTERS

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

I am having problems deleting the files from these two directories
C:\Documents and Settings\radams\Local Settings\History
C:\Documents and Settings\radams\Local Settings\Temp

I am looking to delete all files in these two folders for every person/profile on the system. Some systems may have 5 or more profiles on them.

The following code works for everything else except these two folders. What am I missing?

Any assistance would be appreciated.

----------------------------------------------------------------------
SET SRC1=C:\Documents and Settings
SET SRC2=Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\Content.IE5
SET SRC3=Local Settings\History
SET SRC4=Local Settings\Temp

FOR /D %%X IN ("%SRC1%\*") DO FOR /D %%Y IN ("%%X\%SRC2%\*.*") DO RMDIR /S /Q "%%Y"

del "C:\winnt\system32\spool\PRINTERS\*.*" /f /s /q
del "C:\winnt\temp\*.*" /f /s /q

exit
