Nope didnt work
Well, the script does what it is suppose to do however those cookies you see that are not being deleted is likely because they are locked (i.e you could likely delete them from the admin account). The way I see it you can try two things:
1) Upgrade to Internet Explorer 7 and use the 'Empty Temporary Internet Files when Browser is closed" option
or..
2.) Run a disk cleanup at each log off
a) On the PC go Start > Run > Type > REGEDIT /S cleanmgr.reg <
b) Next type > CLEANMGR /Sageset:1 < Check the boxes for what you want cleaned This sets your options for the following command
c) Create a .bat file with the line > CLEANMGR /sagerun:1 <
d) save it somewhere on the hard drive and add it to the shutdown scripts
To add a batch file to the shutdown scripts do the following:
1.) Start, Run, gpedit.msc
2.) Select Computer Configuration, Windows Settings, Scripts (Startup/Shutdown)
3.) Double Click Shutdown
4.) Click Add, and browse to the script.
5.) Click OK, and OK again.
6.) Close Group Policy and Restart Computer.
7.) The script should now be run on shutdown.
