Vista Tutorial - delete temp files via script - can B added 2 startup

Good Morning, Afternoon,

Will any experts please review this script and advise why it no longer works?
( actually, it will only work 1x when I first boot up and click it ) now, it only finds 1file @ 32kb. it's an OLD script from billsway and I have used it may times B4 on vista. ( Dang it, I can't make it work now to show you a pic ) you can try it, I'm not a gambler or a porno freak so all my files are clean- that's why I have no anti V or stuff like that.

I have attached the file itself also.

Thank you all,

PS: if you have any other .VBS files, please attach or send to me- I love shortcuts

> PS: if you have any other .VBS files, please attach or send to me- IHere's one I wrote for my own purposes. The problem
with XP+ is that the folder system is a mess. There are
a number of possible locations for temp files:
C:\Windows\TEMP
C:\TEMP
C:\Documents and Settings\[folder name]\Local Settings\TEMP

I really don't see the point of having a logon script.
If you've got that many undeleted temp files then you've
probably got much bigger problems to worry about, since
the majority of undeleted temp files come from things
like software installations. I just leave this on the
Desktop and run it once in a while. It checks all temp
file locations listed above (assuming you have permission
if your on an NTFS system) and concludes with a report of
the volume deleted from each location.

Thank you mayayana so much for the quick response,
I'll look @ this later.

your statement of and the advice:
'-- Below here is the function called to delete files in each found TEMP
folder.
'-- This function is fairly simple. It just deletes subfolders and files,
then formats
'-- a return string that reports folder size before deletions and folder
size after deletions.

I need to read a bit

chat later, need to sleep

Cant make it work.

thanks anyway

> Cant make it work.I've never had any problem with it. I use
it regularly on both Win98 and XP. There's not
really much to "work". It just chaecks for the
existence of several folders and then deletes
all content from them. But it does require you
to be admin. on XP because it checks temp
folders for individual users.

In any case, that aspect is something to consider,
whether or not you're using my script: On Win98
you can delete temp files by cleaning out
C:\windows\temp\. But on XP there are several possible
locations, detailed in the script. A thorough temp file
cleaner needs to check all of them.
