I considered that, and actually it's even easier using the administrative
share \\computername\c$ but that leaves some garbage hanging around in the
registry, etc. If no one else comes up with something I'll probably write a
batch script to do it for me that way, then mark the records showing that
those machines need a registry cleaning. This would also leave broken
startup links if you didn't hunt those down and erase them as well.
