Help needed with CLEANUP.CMD

[Kevjm59]

Hi this is my first post here and I just wanted some help in understanding some entries in CLEANUP.CMD in the RunOnceEx guide.

In the example CLEANUP.CMD has the following entries:

cmdow @ /HID
shutdown.exe -r -f -t 60 -c "Windows XP will now restart in 1 minute..."
net user aspnet /delete

DEL "%systemroot%\*.bmp"
DEL "%systemroot%\Web\Wallpaper\*.jpg"
DEL "%systemroot%\system32\dllcache\*.scr"
DEL "%systemroot%\system32\*.scr"

DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Update.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Set Program Access and Defaults.lnk"
DEL "%AllUsersProfile%\Start Menu\Windows Catalog.lnk"

RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\drivers\
RD /S /Q %systemdrive%\install\

EXIT

Basically I am having trouble with lines 2 and 3. Wouldn't the SHUTDOWN command be better as the last line of code as in its present position the computer will shutdown before reaching the rest of the commands

What does "net user aspnet /delete" do? and is it necessary?

Sorry if these questions seem foolish but it is confusing me.

The -t 60 switch instructs shutdown.exe to do a 60sec countdown before restarting the PC, so no worries, the rest of the script will be parsed. If you still don't like this just move the shutdown line at the end.

The net user command deletes the aspnet account that was created when you installed the .Net framework if I am not mistaken ... You can remove it if you want and then check if the aspnet account is present in your system. If not, no need for that line ...

actually it would not shut down for 1 minute, plenty of time for the other commands to run.

Net user aspnet /delete - deletes the user account aspnet

Thanks for your replies. In hindsight it all seems so obvious but isn't that always the way.

Thanks again
