Here'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.

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.
