Batch file for cleaning up

[Mark Hein]

Hi Again Folks,
I am attempting to create a workable batch file for
cleaning up my IE files in 1 click.doing the cleanup
through IE\Tools\Internet Options can get tedious <G>.
Here's what I've come up with based on a few other batch
files I've created for cleaning up a few WinXP functions
that auto-save glutonous filesecho off
echo ****************************
echo * Please remember to... *
echo * *
echo * CCC L OOO SSS EEE *
echo * C L O O S E *
echo * C L O O SS EE *
echo * C L O O S E *
echo * CCC LL OOO SSS EEE *
echo * *
echo * Internet Explorer before *
echo * proceeding!! *
echo ****************************
pause
del C:\Documents and Settings\Mark\Local
Settings\History\Today\*.*
del C:\Documents and Settings\Mark\Local
Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*
del C:\Documents and Settings\Mark\Cookies\*.txt /QAs I say, the other batches work just fine. This one
*seems* to function (no warning or error messages appear),
but in checking the folders through Win Explorer nothing
was been whacked.
Is there some sort of built-in "lock" that prohibits my
batch file from functioning?
Thanks in advance.......Mark

Cleaning the TIF folders using del and all files (*.*) will only create
problems.

The index is not deleted and can only be deleted at a pure DOS command.

Read on. You may decide to create .bat files to be run in pure DOS using
DELTREE.

Delete/Empty Temporary Internet Cache completely
How To: and with most operating system.
