exclude delete command for cleanup.cmd?

**DigeratiPrime** · September 23, 2004

Hi does anyone know a exclude delete command?

I am using cleanup.cmd to delete the old junk leftover from previous versions of windows.

DEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp"
DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr"
DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr"

I would like to keep however certain screensavers from being deleted.

In my $OEM$\$$\system32 folder I have for example, "3D Windows XP.scr" and "fish.scr"

Anyone know how to do this?

MOVE /Y "%windir%\3D Windows XP.scr" "%tmp%"

do the same 4 the other 1s, move them back when your done deleting

ah, thats a good idea. Thanks.

I also just now figured out i could always make a simple sfx archive and run it in runonceex.

sfx archive? 2 delete?

sorry I meant to extract the files to the directory.

But then again i have cleanup.cmd at the end of runonceex, so it would delete it again. So I would have to run that after cleanup.cmd.

but that takes up space & if u have alot on your cd its kinda pointless 2

actually wouldnt it take up less space?

the scr.rar file would be smaller than scr/...

the ONLY way u would actually gain from that is if u deleted them right from the cd then rar sfx the 1's u wanna keep..

7zip is probly better compression tho
