Marin:

   I have logoff.bat file on the c:\ directory, when I
login as glctest1, I double click logoff.bat file,
nothing happen, the cookies is still there, why? also you
mention about del /q "%userprofile%/cookies/*.*", how to
define userprofile ? I also create the separate OU is
call "Deleted cookies" under training1.gov, I did not
modify default domain policy and default domain
controllers policy.

thanks.
