Need a bat file to prep Windows XP Systems for Virus Scans

Asked by hemightbeagiant in Windows Batch Scripting, Microsoft Windows Operating Systems, Microsoft Operating Systems

Tags: , ,

Hello Experts,

The following bat file is used to remove temp files and prep a hard drive to be scanned for viruses.  I was hoping that it could be looked at to verify that all temp directories are being cleared and automated if possible.
I remember writing a bat file that would clear the contents of a folder automatically but my memory escapes me as it was a long time ago.
