How do I set the group policy to purge users Internet Temporary files

I have users who have some very old temporary internet files. I would like to set a domain policy to purge files older than 20 days. I have located under USER-admin-windows-internet a coporate setting that allows you to set the default amount of disk space to use and have set this to 50mb. However, I would also like to control the number of days, but can't seem to locate where that is set. Can someone point me to the spot.

to add them you go in to group policy admin. right clcik on administrative templates.

choses add/remove

chose add and browse to where you put the .adm file

(read the comments in this ADM file using note pad!! there is a tick box you need to check which is explaind with in it)

Start Page
Cache Folder Location
CacheLimit in KiloBytes
Empty Temporary Internet Files folder when browser is closed

Sorry these are the four settings this GP file adds to the defaults

A lot of great input... But I am leaning toward agreeing with TONIUR in that there does not appear to be a seeting for the Number of Days to keep files. It looks like you can only control the Temp Folder size.
I'll leave this open for a little while to see what you guys think.

well you could run a script to delete old files out of the temp files. and then run it using a GP.

Thanks for all the input. I am going to try setting the Max Size limit for Internet Temp folder first and see how well this works. Thanks again for giving me some feedback.
