Uh, proofread?

I *think* that will delete everything in the Windows folder...

Well, I tested it, and it doesn't under XP, but I'd be afraid to
try
it on other versions of Windows.

Should be DEL *.TMP

In any event, there *should* not be any *.TMP files in
C:\WINDOWS.

DEL %TEMP% and DEL %TMP% should be sufficient.

Good advice is like good paint- it only works if applied.
