Delete ALL Temp I-net Files (All Users)

[Dale]

Win XP Pro

I am looking for a utility or script that would delete the contents of
the temporary internet files folder for all users, not just the
current user.

I have several stand alone XP Pro PC's that are used by approx 50
different users with unique logins and I need to clean all temp files
from these.

I have also heard of a registry setting that will delete all temo i-
net files on logoff.

Does anyone know where I can find info on these?

Thanks
Dale

In IE Tools > Internet Options > Advanced tab.
Scroll down to Security and select "Empty Temporary Internet files folder when
browser is closed".
or
Start > run, type in: regedit and press Enter.
Expand: hklm\software\microsoft\internet explorer\main

In the right pane if delete_temp_files_on_exit is set to no double click the name
delete_temp_files_on_exit, type in yes ( replacing no) and click Ok.
Close regedit.
