A while back, I created an application that I initially intended on putting up for sale however I have not finished it yet and it's been a while, so I'm going to put it out there as freeware/begware. It is an application similar to what you are referring to -- it will remove all traces of IE history, cookies, temporary internet files, and the MRU cache from the address bar from the system when activated. I was just re-vamping it to make it a command-line app with switches to trigger the different deletions and haven't spent more than 3 hours on it in the past 2 months. If you want cookies left in, I can recompile it and leave the cookies alone...that would take 2 minutes ;-) If anyone would like the app in its current form - no setup application and you need to hard-code a registry setting to set it to automatically run and clear the settings upon execution (Otherwise it prompts the user whether or not to clear it) - just let me know and I'll mail it. It does work well, I just got sidetracked looking for work and never got back to it. I will be finishing it soon to the command-line version which will work better for using it in a script, but this executable does work well now. I have a few folks out there who are using it (Jim K, I think????). John ===================================== John A.

However, I didn't really see anything that addresses my desire. I've created a reboot script (attached as txt) and would like to remove all the Temporary Internet Files from the system (except cookies) before defrag and reboot. I would like to incorporate something into this script that deletes all the *htm, *css, *gif, *jpeg, *vbs, etc.... From the Temporary Internet Files for each users local profile...leaving cookie (*.txt) files. Any suggestions? This article I'm allready addressing in the script.
