Hi Keith;
No, nothing top secret, lol. I have always disagreed with the way ms likes to squirrel away my files into a very-very-very long chain of folder names.

I have always disagreed with the way ms reveals personal information (for those savvy enough to know where to look) about what I have been doing for the last decade.

When I build a new system I always make these type of changes in order to make it my Personal Computer. I know the location of each and every one of my files. Therefore I don't need a lightning-fast search to tell me where my files are.

I especially don't need a search to tell me where to find windows tools/features because if I rely on search for this then I will forget how to find my tools myself.

My automated cleanup script is working well, thanks to your help. Perhaps you can help me with automating the task of deleting the contents of this folder (C:\Users\myname\Recent). I can deleted the contents manually, but I am having trouble finding an automated solution.
