Cleaner, stand-alone,

[XW]

Ok, I'm looking for a cleanup program that will do this:

* Clear out the %temp% directory (not just the c:\windows\temp, but
whatever is specified by user/Windows)

* Clear out the Temporary Internet Files (regardless of Win version)

* No installation files, just one independent program (maybe a DLL if
necessary)

* No interaction, just "run and done". If there are command line
options, that's fine, too.

I just want something that I can put onto a CD and let it autostart and do
its job. Any suggestions?

The wasup! batch files will do this. A reboot into DOS is necessary
for 98 and a full reboot is necessary for ME. The programs are
different for 98 and ME.

The 98 bat has a .pif to drop to dos and run:

if exist %winbootdir%\smartdrv.exe %winbootdir%\smartdrv.exe 2048 16
deltree /y %winbootdir%\temp\
deltree /y %winbootdir%\cookies\
deltree /y %winbootdir%\tempor~1\
deltree /y %winbootdir%\history\
deltree /y %winbootdir%\ShellIconCache

You might remove the lines you don't want and supply the one for the
temp specified by the user. It looks like reboot is required so the
files are not locked.


Index.dat might be a better program. It scans the hard drive for all
index.dat files and creates a custom batch file per machine. Then you
can copy the batch file over and the machine is taken care of. It's
not what you're asking for, but it's worth noting.

EasyCleaner http://www.toniarts.com/

It's a 1-file wonder, and can be configured to clean out folders of your
choice. It works fine without a language file or folder. Just dump the EXE
anywhere and run it.

TempCleaner http://www.webattack.com/get/tempcleaner.html

Consists of 2 files. 1 for configuring, 1 for cleaning. I love it. Just dump
the EXE's anywhere and run them.

I've been using FRed Langa's Cleanall for a long time a nd it works fine.

There is also a slightly more aggressive version from

http://TomCoyote.com

called Tom's cleanall which cleans out ALL files in the Tif, which may
delete some cookies you might miss, but it works fine for me.

These are prolly better than REM's if (like me) you're not too up on DOS
environmental variamables.

They are tichy batch files which will download before you've got your
finger off the button

Sorry for the late reply. EasyCleaner looks to be pretty much exactly what
I'm looking for. I found that it does need a DLL to be present but I'm
hoping that it doesn't need to be registered to work; just present in the
same directory. I'll test that next chance I get.

Glad you like it. It will run with the DLL in the same folder.
