Anyways i have decided to make a simple piece of software that can help clean up temporary files that the likes if win zip and software intallers ect decide to leave behind for example this folder C:\Users\username\AppData\Local\Temp i already have a small list of folders that are relativly safe to empty however i need your help as it may very well be possiable that you guys/gals will know of more folders that can be cleaned out so could i ask you guys if you could list all the folders that you know are safe for deletion in vista 32, 64 bit and XP 32,64 bit  |

| Vista Ultimate x64 MAK, OpenSolaris 5, Gentoo 2008.1.... | Re: Developing Software source code, no, but I do know hte commandline: reboot Code: shutdown /r /now [code] shutdown /s /now[code] You can also use a /t switch and specify the time in seconds, as in Code: shutdown /r /t 600 Here is a code I got from MVP Ramesh's site for a VB code to run shutdown: Code: 'Launches "shutdown.exe /r /t xxx" - This script is a workaround...
'... for the 600 seconds time-out limit in Vista.

Set objShell = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell")
strMsg = "Enter the reboot timeout period (in Seconds)"
iSec = trim(InputBox (strMsg,"Shutdown timeout value",750))
if iSec = "" then wscript.quit
if iSec > 600 then
iSleep = int(iSec) - 600
iSleep = iSleep * 1000
WScript.Sleep iSleep
objShell.Run "shutdown.exe /r /t 600"
else
objShell.Run "shutdown.exe /r /t " & iSec
end If

| vista ultamate 64bit | Re: Developing Software oh yes i know about that and to be honest im not even trying to compete with it i am simply learning VB as a hobby.... maybe a for a future career... i wanted to keep it simple and basic, well actually Vista UAC Switch wasn't even the in the pipeline... i just got side tracked lol now i need to get on with what i started "Disc Junkie" in basic terms a piece of software pre-set to help aid the less savvy of us all to clean out tempoary files left behind from installed/extracted software ect ect ect... its actualy turning out mor complicated than i 1st anticipated  Any how if anyone would like to try Vista UAC switch and give me some constructive critisism please feel free |
