hello,
I've noticed on the network (win2k and winXP) the user's workstations
always get full of junk files from internet explorer.

I tried clicking on empty files when browser is closed on the advanced
tab in properties but it still leaves a ton of junk files.

I'd love a script that runs whenever a user logs in but scripting on
windows is not my strong point. Perhaps a GPO - but I've never seen
one that can do this.

On Mozilla Firefox, you can set it to clear out all junk files when a
user closes the browser and on Firefox this works great! No junk
files! How can I do this on IE for all user workstations?


Thanks,

I use a computer shutdown script assigned via GPO to clean out *everything* - the GUI method leaves a lot of crap in there.

FOR /F %%A IN ('DIR/B "C:\Documents and Settings"') DO DEL/S/F/Q "C:\Documents and Settings\%%A\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\*.*"
FOR /F %%A IN ('DIR/B "C:\Documents and Settings"') DO RD/S/Q "C:\Documents and Settings\%%A\Local Settings\Temporary Internet Files\"


WOW!
that's awesome! I'll try this on a test machine first, if this works good I'll assign it via GPO.

Thank you so much, this is a very useful script!

For the rest of you, the GUI method does in fact leave a lot of junk behind. Try looking at the browser temp folders some time and see for yourselves.

Thank you,

Oskar
