Removing Temp Files

[Michael D. Alligood]

I regularly have to remove spyware/adware from different client PCs. Some of
these PCs have multiple users. The first thing I do is boot into safe mode
and remove all temp files, temp internet files, and cookies out of each
users profile and delete the temp files out of the windows\temp folder. I
was looking for a way to automate this process. Disk Cleanup does not remove
all instances of these file. Does anyone know of a script or batch file that
will clear out all file in the directories mentioned above?

I also install 3 programs with regularity; SpyBot, Ad-Aware, and Spyware
Blaster. If I could utilize a script or batch file to install all three at
the same time that would be great. I understand that this may sound lazy.
However, I do this with such regularity, with different clients at different
locations. I am just looking for something to help automate the process.

Thank you all in advance for your advice. I greatly appreciate it!

Use Disk Cleaner to clean out all the Temp stuff. It's what I use. ;-)

You can set it up do run in the quiet mode at boot and it *will* clean out
all Temp files (except what might be in use at the time, which nothing can
delete).

Looks interesting.
May I ask about recommended tools for registry cleaning ?

You can also go to

C:\Documents and Settings\"Your Username\Local Settings\Temp

and empty the contents by going Edit > Select All and press delete.
