Everything can be scripted to achieve whatever you want. This is the power of 
scripting. From the vbscript you can use icacls.exe to change folder 
permissions.

Cheers,
Jeremy.

Hi

I cannot delete the top level as the top folder has specific rights which are 
not inherited..  Would be good if I can delete everything except the top 
folder.  Otherwise I would need to script the ACL modifications also.  Users 
group needs modify access to the top folder..  Can this be scripted easily?

Thanks
Ang

Hi,

You might want to look at this:
http://www.computing.net/answers/programming/vbscript-to-delete-all-subfolders/14650.html

Easiest way would be to create a script to remove the top level folder and 
everything inside, and then recreate the top level folder.

i.e.

@echo off
rmdir /s /q somedir
mkdir somedir

Subject: [THIN] OT - Assistance with script to delete folders

Hi

Im trying to create a script that runs on server startup that deletes all 
files/folders in a specific folder but without deleting the top level folder

C:\TEST
        FOLDER1
        FOLDER2
        etc

I tried using rmdir c:\Test\ /s /q but this deletes the test folder.  I need to 
delete all subfolders except c:\test.  Any ideas on how I can do this?? Citrix 
Server is running on Windows 2003

Thanks
