nsnraju Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 what i prefer is %temp% " without quotes.. at Start -> Run..this opens ur temp folder n den u cal erase it neatly// still try dis one too..First go into gpedit.mscNext select -> Computer Configuration/Administrative Templates/Windows Components/Terminal Services/Temporary FolderThen right click "Do Not Delete Temp Folder Upon Exit"Go to properties and hit disable. Now next time Windows puts a temp file in that folder it will automatically delete it when its done! Note from Forum Admin: Remember, GPEDIT (Group Policy Editor) is only available in XP Pro.

gosh Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 That might not be a good idea if you install software. If you install something that uses temp, then it prompts you to reboot, any install files will be deleted and won't be available on next boot.And i believe that setting is for terminal services, not windows.-gosh Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
gunsmokingman Posted October 2, 2007 Share Posted October 2, 2007 Here is a VBS script that will delete most of the things in the Temp folder.I have only tested this on Vista and do not know how it will work on XP.Save as CleanTemp.vbs On Error Resume Next Dim Act :Set Act = CreateObject("Wscript.Shell") Dim Fso :Set Fso = CreateObject("Scripting.FileSystemObject") Dim Tmp :Tmp = Act.ExpandEnvironmentStrings("%Temp%") Dim F1, SubFolder, Folder'/-> Collect All The Files In The Temp Folder For Each F1 In Fso.GetFolder(Tmp).Files If InStr(F1.Name,".bmp") Then ' WScript.Echo "Do Not Delete User Picture " & F1.Name Else ' WScript.Echo F1.Name Fso.DeleteFile(F1.Path),True End If Next'/-> Collect All The Folders In The Temp Folder ShowSubFolders Fso.GetFolder(Tmp) Function ShowSubFolders(Folder) For Each SubFolder in Folder.SubFolders ' WScript.Echo SubFolder.Path Fso.DeleteFolder(SubFolder.Path),True ShowSubFolders Subfolder Next End Function Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
