How can I use %SystemRoot% in a script?
Uncle! I'm not a programmer and someone else wrote this originally. It's a script that runs weekly to do clean-up on our computers (this is just one section) Most of the machines are "clean" installs of WinXP... but... I have a few that are upgrades. Therefore, the upgrade machines have "WINNT" as the SystemRoot name. The script will, obviously, not run on these machines since the code references the path "C:\Windows....". Is there a way to return the %SystemRoot% name and use it in the path shown in the code below. Finding a way would add a few years to my lifetime as I have been searching for weeks.
Sub sbDefrag()
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
Dim WshShell, Result, objFSO, objNetwork
Result = WshShell.Popup("Weekly Computer Maintenance Is Being Preformed Please Do Not Log onto this Machine! The I.T. Department.", 10, "Title", 65)
If result = 1 or Result = -1 THEN
set WshShell = CreateObject("WScript.Shell")
'Runs a clean up on the C: Drive
WshShell.Run "cleanmgr /sagerun:100"
WScript.Sleep 5000
'Cleans out the WIndows XP Prefetch directory
Const DeleteReadOnly = True
Set objFSO = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject")
objFSO.DeleteFile("C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\*.*"), DeleteReadOnly
objFSO.DeleteFile("C:\WINDOWS\Prefetch\*"), DeleteReadOnly
